Vinny is a 13 Year Old Mix-Breed in Harrison, OH, Who Needs $1,998 for Femoral Head Ostectomy Surgery.

My dog, Vinny, came into our lives during a difficult season and quickly became the heart of our home. He has been a constant source of comfort for me and my elderly, disabled mother. After losing two pets and human loved ones this year, his presence has meant more to us than ever.

Our dog, Vinny, now needs urgent, life‑saving surgery, and the cost is far beyond what we can manage. This is an emergency situation, not a long‑term condition—without surgery, we face the heartbreaking possibility of losing him. He is currently being treated at MedVet Cincinnati under the care of Angie Callahan, who explained that surgery is his only chance.

Vinny is not just a pet—he is emotional support, companionship, and stability in our home. He curls up beside my mother when she is in pain and brings joy into a house that has seen so much loss. His gentle spirit, playful moments, and loving nature brighten even our hardest days.

As the full‑time caregiver for my elderly, disabled mother, we live on a very limited income. This emergency is more than we can afford. Help with his surgery would save his life and keep our family together during a year already filled with heartbreaking loss.
