Walter is a 9-month-old Frenchie / Boston Terrier in Omaha, NE, who needs $2,000 for Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) Surgery on Both Rear Hips.

Our family adopted Walter when he was 9 weeks old from our local Humane Society. Walter's mother was rescued from an abusive home and was pregnant with a litter of puppies at the time. Walter is currently 9 months old and has one older brother (7 y/o Pug Winston) and one older sister (5 y/o Frenchie Willow). Walter immediately fit in with our family!

Walter loves to snuggle in on the couch right in between Winston & Willow. He loves to be around his humans and go on walks around the neighborhood. Walter's favorite thing to do is wrestle with his sister Willow. Walter has always been a quick learner and has such a great personality. We have 3 teens in the home that absolutely adore him.

Walter has the funniest facial expressions! He is an all black dog with dark eyes. He will look at you out of the corner of his eye and we always laugh and say "Oh Walter is giving us side eye"! He sleeps in the weirdest positions and places! Once I found him sleeping with his head buried in my daughter's shoe.

After several appts, Walter has been diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia bi-lateral coxofemoral subluxation w/minimal coverage of femoral head in both rear hips. Walter is in pain and requires FHO surgery. Both hips will pop every time he walks, and he is currently on pain medication every day. Sirius Veterinary Orthopedic Center Dr. Tan

Our family is devastated as we do not have the finances to cover the cost of this surgery. Surrending Walter is not an option for us, and we need help. Walter is so young, and we want him to live pain free without medication!
