Wesley is a 3 year old Golden Retriever in Hoyt Lakes, MN, who needs $5,000 for MRI.

My Golden Retriever, Wes, had a rough start before I adopted him. He was originally with a breeder but was placed in a home where he was unfortunately abused. He was kept confined in a kennel that was too small for him. The owners later tried to give him away on Facebook Marketplace, so the breeder stepped in and brought Wes back. At that point, he even had to relearn how to walk.

Wes head low, occasionally falling over (especially when running at full speed), and sometimes running with a sideways gait. I took him to the vet, and X-rays came back normal with no concerns. He was treated for Lyme disease and blastomycosis, which seemed to help somewhat, but he would still hold his head low and occasionally fall. his condition has worsened. Wes can no longer use his back legs

Wes loves his tennis balls and being around people. He has a brother, Bauer, who is a black Lab, and Bauer would love nothing more than to have his brother healthy and able to play with him again. Wes truly is one of the best dogs you could ever meet. He is incredibly loving, compassionate, and adores every person he meets.

Having Wes healthy again would mean seeing him able to stand, walk, and run freely, play with his tennis balls and his brother Bauer, and enjoy being around people while living the happy, active life he deserves.
