Chihuahua in need of help!
My little 4 pound chihuahua is 2 years old and has seizures. It has been controlled with medication but he went in for his bi yearly Phenobarbital level check today and had complications.

Upon waking he could not stand on his front right leg. I called the vet and they finally agreed to see him. I feared they hurt his [...]
Please help Barney have the surgery to prolong his life
My Barney I was looking for a second dog for me and my yorkie when I first met Barney in a shelter. Someone handed him to me and unlike any other dog I have ever met or held he held onto me with all four legs – as if he was pleading to be taken from this place and given a home, pleading to have his life saved. I went home that day but could not forget him – I nicknamed him “Velcro boy” because he held on for life –his life. The following weekend I went back to get him and take [...]
Cooper American Bulldog/Boxer mix needs surgery
I would like to post a story about my American bulldog/boxer mix who was born with a birth defect that twisted both his hind tibia's and fibula's and dislocated both his hind kneecaps disabling him from walking. His reconstructive surgeries were estimates at $3500 each leg. The first surgery was performed and with donations we were able to put just about $1500 towards it. The remaining $2000 balance still remains and his left leg needs the same surgery. I am looking for any kind [...]

TPLO surgery needed for our dog Missy, to cure a CCL injury in her leg
About 18 months ago we adopted our dog Missy. She was a rescue dog and was having trouble finding a home because of her separation anxiety (not surprising since she had been abandoned!). Our family adopted her and she has become the most loveable, easy-going companion we can imagine. She is part Lab and Greyhound, so she loves to run and jump. Her daily walks are the highlight of her day, especially when she sees the rabbits on our neighborhood trails! We recently discovered that her previous [...]
