Valor is a 7-year-old German Shepherd in Lehighton , PA, who needs $2,000 for Perineal Hernias Surgery.

In August of 2017 we decided we wanted to get a male GS. My fiancé found one on Craigslist. We decided to go meet this one year old boy. Omg he was a mess!! He smelled so bad because of his skin condition. Half his fur was missing and his skin was raw. There was no way I was letting this poor thing go back with these people. Flea infested, ear infections and underweight but he was coming with us.

Valor is such an amazing dog. Doesn’t have an evil bone in his body. He loves to play ball with his sister. Occasionally will chase his two kitties around the house. Most of all he loves to be loved. I always say he’s Scooby in a German shepherd’s body. My silly scaredy cat. He sure loves his mommy and I love him back just as much.

He’s the silliest. We always know when he’s ready to come back in the house. All you see at the door is this crazy dog jumping up and down. He reminds me of a jack in the box. We’ve always let our babies in bed with us. Unfortunately since he’s been sick he has to stay down. It breaks my heart and his to I’m sure.

My poor Valor has been struggling going number two for months now. Our vet thought it could be from swollen prostates pressing on his colon. We got him neutered and his prostates went down. Problem is he’s still struggling so bad. Vet tried steroids and recommended specialist. Specialist said he needs surgery on his colon and perineal hernias.

Unfortunately with the cost of living I don’t make near enough to cover his surgery. I’ve maxed out my Care Credit. I need my boy back to his old self. Watching him struggle and cry while he’s trying to go to the bathroom isn’t fair to him. I can’t give up on him.
