Blossvale, NY
I bought Bobo who is the runt of the liter and his brother from a beagle breeding farm 8 years ago in Pennsylvania. He chose me and when I saw the little guy, I was like “yeah, your name is Bobo” Such a funny dog right from the start. I’ve always been a fan of beagles for their loving, funny, and loyal personality. He is a friendly canine that loves all the other animal species we have. Recently, everything changed when he developed a massive hernia. He was diagnosed today at Animal Ark Hospital and needs to be neutered. Now, Bobo is struggling, he’s lost control of his bladder and bowels, and I can see the fear and discomfort in his eyes. He’s restless, scared, and not the happy, funny dog I know and love. His medical issues requires surgery that’s crucial for his wellbeing. Bobo is an extraordinary pet with a unique personality that makes him a cherished family member. His behavior reflects not just intelligence, but a deep connection with all involved. Bobo feels our emotions and moods, responding with affection, when we are down or playing cheerfully to lift our spirits. Bobo’s presence in our home brings joy and laughter making him an irreplaceable to us. I don’t have enough money for important things such as saving my best friend. Now with the unexpected expenses, has me not paying my bills as Bobo comes first. I don’t make much money as is and struggle everyday. We love my Bobo, his health and joy matters!! I miss him!!

Bob was adopted on a whim at the pound at 3 mo.s-- he was too playful and loving to leave, he captured my heart (and I was not there took at cats!!) He is THE most important person in our family. Primarily he provides entertainment and love but when my serious health issues come up he sticks to me like glue and keeps me company when I am laid up. He is a very social, vocal, alert snugglemonster. Bob has a touch of "Cat OCD"-- we accept a certain routine (wake: snuggle, eat, outside, snuggle, sub-cutaneous fluids (like IV), catnip, snuggle, watch me get ready, etc...) it used to be his routine to go on the window seat around 10am as I worked from home... Once a snow drift blocked the view and Bob couldn't figure out where to sit because it messed up his routine (up, down, up, down, up..!) I have a fixed income because my health issues limit how many hours a week I can work. We have been paying for Bob's 3 medications and 2 prescription diet foods a month for about 5 years. I can afford fluids or meds but not both. Dental work is out of the question:( Bob has been on lactose, miralax, cisapride for years for hard stool and did very well with medication until June. He developed a blockage that was very painful and had to go through traumatic, painful treatment to clear it. Once clear he still wouldn't eat-- he tried but kept dropping it. He developed kidney issues and per the vet he needs fluids, gabapentin, 2 teeth extractions, cleaning. Having no tail (see pics) Bob often does what we call the "Jabba the Hutt" pose, sitting up vertically as we laugh hysterically in the background! Once he got used to a harness we taught him how to use the doorbell (literally bells I hung up) so he could get tied up but let us know whenever he wanted to come in. He LOVES going out on the porch, stalking phantom mice, bouncing into walls at night

Bob is a 14-year-old Manx/Mainecoon mix in Baldwinsville, NY, who needs $227 for kidney disease treatment.
Baldwinsville, NY
My cat picked ME: I went to the local pound to see if there were any apartment appropriate dogs to THINK about adopting (there weren't), so on a whim I asked if I could just play with the kittens for a fuzz-buzz as I was leaving... they opened the door and this TINY little guy immediately jumped on my shoulder and started biting my hair! I submitted: Shoot, well I guess I'm getting a cat now!" Bob has been with us through 7apartments, New jobs, layoffs, health crises and disability, sometimes with roommates who had dogs (which my cat tolerated well but once cornered in the kitchen and wouldn't let her leave,) co-habitated with other cats... he was with me during my dad's coma and all the other good times and bad... he's been amazing and taken it all in stride. Just the cost of fluids and tubing ($130/mo),his new medications (133/mo), new special dry food ($28), new wet food $60) = $391/mo. I am disabled, only able to work part-time at a grocery store, and half my small income goes towards medical expenses. This is both an immediate need for funding for emerg. services rendered this week as well as help for on-going treatment he will need for the rest of his life. Bob has urinary crystals (prescription wet food) and he has an issue with periodic bowel blockages (3 medications and sometimes home enemas.) About $200/mo. Now he has kidney disease, so +3meds, Rx wet & dry food, and IV DAILY. Bob is TEACHABLE. Once we got him comfortable on a harness for outside we would tie him up. We hung some bells below the knob and he would "ring the doorbell" when he wanted to come in! He has no tail (well, a nub), and because of that he will sit up straight on his rear end (pouch expanding like a beer belly...) we call this his "jabba" pose. because he looks exactly like Jabba the Hutt!
