I've Hazel since she was born, she is my brother's dog baby she lives with me and my boyfriend she is so spoiled she has 3 beds throughout the house and bunch of toys I have been told Hazel needs TOLP surgery and needs a metal plate in her knee so of course I have to go to the most recommended one Veterinary Orthopedic Center with Dr. Claude Gendreau to make sure Hazel get the best of the best care! Hazel loves peanut butter and frosty paws ice cream; she loves to sunbathe and play in the sand at the beach (picture is posted in her life jacket) she loves to run and play all day and take naps right after eating I am posting my little 4 leg family member on here in need of help of money I normally don't ask but anything helps as I also just had leg surgery ACL and still am paying off my $3000 bill I got quoted $2000 for my out-of-pocket balance and they do not accept payments
Tank
Tank is a 5 year old Mix-Breed in Homewood, IL, who needs $4,500 for Pin and Plate Placement and Removal of Fragments.
Homewood, IL
Tank was 6 weeks old when he came home runt if the bunch, melted our hearts immediately. He was so small he fit in the cup holder of the car, he grown into a full 8lb fluff we love dearly, then we got a call that the found a Belgian Mal on the highway she needed a home and we coexisted until 2 days ago. He was eating a snack and felt threatened so defended his snack and was attacked by house mate. Tank is suffering from 2 fractures that need a pin and plate to set his leg, if we dont provide the surgery he may loose it to amputation. We are working with Veterinary Orthopedic center in Highland IN. Tank is a kind loving jumping around dog that always had the zoomies, it breaks my heart to see him in pain and inmobile. He greats everyone at the door with attention and love and always expects belly rubs in return. The expense is unexpected but much need I do have a bit of funds but used up what was saved in ER VISIT and vet bills and x-rays. I think just having Tank able to be mobile would be a blessing at this time
Ruger
Ruger is a 11 month old French Bulldog in Laporte, IN, who needs $3,705 for Coxofemoral Luxation.
Laporte, IN
Our family purchased Ruger when he was only 8 weeks old at just 4 lbs. We all fell in love with him instantly. He is not our pet but a true member of our family. Rug boy is very rambunctious and has no chill but we wouldn’t change him for anything. We came home from work and let Rug outside to go potty and realized he was holding up his rear leg. We watched him closely and decided to take him to the vet for x-rays. They let us know his hip is popping in and out of location and he needs a surgery called Coxofemoral Luxation that Dr. Gendreau at Veterinary Orthopedic Center wants to do, however the estimate is $3455.00-3705.00. Our Rug boy loves his 15 year old brother Rockey and loves to harass our cat Selene. He is a real pistol but everyone loves him and my 4 year old daughter would be lost without Rug by her side. She loves to pass out treats to everyone and help feed and give fresh water. We are true animal lovers through and through. We want to do right by Rug but we need help. I have low income and am on assistance. Ruger has already required 1 surgery for his knee and I maxed out care credit to cover the expense. I was not expecting all these issues with a new family pet so early on. He is not quite 1 yet and has been though so much.
Arlo
Arlo is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Hobart, IN, who needs $2,000 for S.I Luxation and Acetabular Fracture Repair.
Hobart, IN
Arlo is the sweetest boy you could ever meet. He is a 1 year old puppy with the oldest soul you could imagine. Arlo somehow brings happiness on the darkest worst days! My daughter had accidently left the baby gate unlocked and he ran to the front yard into the street, he was hit but a car.The person driving the vechile did not stop or even slow down. My 16 yrwas able to rush arlo to the vet for xrays and care. It was found that he had a fractured pelvis. Dr. West had consulted on how to repair arlos fractures so that he could go on to live a full amazing life. Arlos favorite things are fetch, treats, snuggles belly rubs and giving kisses. Arlo enjoys walks and car rides. Arlo seems to bring our family together. He was the missing piece to our crazy puzzle. The joy he brings to us is a different level of happiness. Without this surgery arlo may not recover correctly, and not be able to live pain free. He still has a full life ahead of him, to enjoy all the love and belly rubs we have to offer him. To have little man healthy would mean absolutely everything to our family.
Luke
Luke is a 7 year old Cane Corso in Oak Lawn, IL, who needs $9,800 for Tibial Plateau Osteotomy.
Oak Lawn, IL
This is Luke, born on May 1, 2018., but he’s had a rough straty from the day he was born. Luke was born with a very severe cleft palate and lip. Unable to nurse. According to the vet, best option was to put him down but we refused and here he is today;-) best companion ever, who adores little kids more than life itself. Currently he needs surgery in both back legs (ACL) which is $9800. Other than the cleft lip and palatines been a healthy boy. Currently he’s in need of a surgery on both of his back Legs (unable to use his left at all), which is $9800 (for both). Taking him to VOC IN INDIANA z both of his acl’s are torn and die umiem to have the quality of life that he deserves, both need to be operated on. I can not afford it and I’m definitely not ready to let him go!!! He is the most loving, humble gentle giant!!! He absolutely loves kids and he can be vocal at times. He likes to argue, but he also loves to show off his studies!!! He loves to suck on his studies and sleep with them. He currently has one furry sibling?had 3 others but two of the crossed the rainbow last year), he still loves to play and he has two human siblings who love him dearly. Nothing matters more right now than to get our boy to walk and play again!! Every day I cry watching him suffer and not being able to help. Unfortunately with current financial situation, I am unable to afford the surgery, especially knowing that I might be loosing my job.
Cassius
Cassius is a 5 month old American Pit Bull Terrier in Columbus, OH, who needs $2,000 for Surgery on Left Femur and Hip Joint.
Columbus, OH
I was leaving work and two young ladies asked if she was at the Humane Society. I replied, no that's next door. Allow me to see what you have. She two pups in a cage. I called my friend and he took the male and I have my beautiful Cassius. She pretty much just fell into my arms. Unfortunately my boyfriend asked me to bring her down for a few weeks. He let her out and failed to watch her. She has a broken femur in three places along with her hip joint. The facility is Veterinary Orthopedic Center in Highland, Indiana. Cassius is sweet and a loving animal. I am a cat lover. She loves playing with the cat and her kittens. She licks the kittens any change she gets. She is a loving and happy dog. I just returned back to work less than 30 days. Just getting back on my feet after being out of work for 30 days. Cassius is me and my daughters first dog. I very protective of her and this hurts me heart knowing she wasn't properly watched.
Panda
Panda is a 5 year old Shih Tzu in Chicago, , who needs $2,000 for Amputation of the Right Back Leg / Partial Pelvis.
Chicago
Panda has spent all five of her years in my family’s life, keeping us company and providing us with joy. She was a puppy when we brought her home, so small that she slept on my pillow, or on the table next to my parents as they worked on their computers due to quarantine. She has had hip issues since she was younger, however it was unknown how deeply they ran until the day of me writing this. We initially were told she had a torn ACL, however upon being taken in for surgery, it was discovered she had a massive, aggressive tumor that totally obliterated her femur. The bone is gone. Aggressive surgery is required in turn, to at least give her a good quality of life. She is a little ray of sunshine, very polite and sweet. Always up for cuddles, and has continued to work with the energy she has with through her pain. She loves playing fetch, chewing on bones, running in the grass, and playing tug of war. These may have become more difficult without the use of her back leg, but she has adapted incredibly as is. I know with medical help, she will pull through. Her tumor is more aggressive than even our veterinarian orthopedist has seen in his career. She desperately needs this amputation to stop the spread, as well as chemo to ensure it does not continue to hurt her as it currently is doing. This needs to happen now.
Brownie
Brownie is a 10 month old Italian Greyhound in Valparaiso, IN, who needs $2,000 for Fracture Repair.
Valparaiso, IN
Brownie came into my life when a plea came out for an injured dog with 2 possible broken back legs. I sprang into action immediately even though I knew financially I couldn’t do anything right away, but still needed to get her off of the streets and out of the heat. She is now happy and spoiled, but still requires surgery. Brownie has 2 broken back legs that require immediate attention. Taking on a stray dog, with that costly of a vet bill was not in my plans, but knew I had to do something. Brownie is special to me because even after living on the streets for who knows how long and being in excruciating pain, she is still the sweetest most loving dog and that’s all she wants to do, give love and be loved I need help because I am on a fixed income so obviously this major surgery was not in the future plans, but I know she needs it more then anything and that’s why I’m reaching out for help!
Daisy
Daisy is a 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Edwardsburg, MI, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.
Edwardsburg, MI
Our family adopted Daisy from a shelter 2 years ago. Honestly, she is the best part of our family. She lives with my husband, 2 sons, my father and myself. She also has several furry siblings, her brother Dingo who is the newcomer to the family as well as 5 cat siblings. Our dear sweet dog Daisy was hit by a car this morning. We rushed her to the emergency vet where they were able to stabilize her. She was in severe shock, her leg is broken, all of her paws are skinned up, and parts of her pads are missing. She now needs surgery to repair her broken leg. Veterinary Orthopedic Center-Highland, IN. There is no such thing as a stranger to Daisy, they are only best friends she hasn't met yet. Daisy is sweet, loving and her smile will melt your heart. Everyone that meets Daisy instantly falls in love with her. We are faced with this financial hardship due to draining our emergency fund a few weeks ago for funeral expenses. On April 25th, our son took his own life the day before he would have turned 20. We are still struggling financially, mentally and emotionally.
