Waffles is an English Bulldog puppy in Lithia, FL, who needs $2,000 for a Tail Amputation - Infected Corkscrew Tail.

Thank you for taking time to read about my little man, Waffles! This smooshy face guy is a little over 3 months old. Unfortunately, I was laid off on September 11th due to COVID-19 and am already struggling to survive and recently received the news Waffles is in need of surgery due to his "Corkscrew tail" which is infected and causing him pain...

I was an only child growing up and absolutely loved having a family pet to play with... well I now have 2 young sons (5 and 2 years old) and decided I'd like for them to grow up with a puppy in which Waffles came into our lives. The boys have fallen head over heels for him and he is their best friend! Thankfully they all wear each other out, haha.

Due to not being employed I am so low on funds for my family right now. I also was in the process of getting pet insurance for Waffles which has been so frustrating and not approving this surgery to be covered due to it now being a "pre-existing condition".

Waffles has a tail which is growing back inside of him called "Corkscrew Tail" and it needs to be removed from his back end and the rest of the tail needs to be amputated to prevent this from happening again. Dr. Mark R. Woodside specialize in bulldogs which makes me feel a bit more comfortable putting my little man through such a process which I know is truly needed to help him not be in pain.

Waffles truly loves to make everyone smile... if you aren't feeling well or having a bad day... he wants to cuddle up next to you and kiss all over you. He is the type of dog who knows when he has done something wrong and wants to apologize and make it right. When he chews something up and sees your face of disapproval, he'll walk over and rub on you with this "I'M SOWWWWY" face, haha.
