Poncho the pug

Friends and family, Our little Poncho is needing emergency surgery. What we thought was pneumonia turned to be something a lot worse. He has a twisted lung, meaning that he cannot get enough oxygen and also the blood supply to the lung is being cut off. His lung will start dying.....
This is the first time I am asking for any kind of financial help. The surgery will cost anywhere between $5000 to$6000. I am trying to come up with some of the money but even stretching it to the breaking point does not come even close to that. 
if he has the surgery it will save his life. There is NO other way. It will mean he gets to be with us for his first Christmas....He is only a year old... He is a little clown who loves us as much as we love him. Please, please help us.  Anything helps no matter how much.It would mean the world to us...Thank you!!!
