Astro is a 3 year old Mix-Breed in Mesa, AZ, who n

I first saw Astro on the Humane Society website located in Arizona. When I first saw that picture it was like love at first sight, all I knew was that I had to have him. As soon as we got out first meeting in person both me and my daughter knew he was meant for our little family. Later that same day he was in the car with us heading to his forever home. Astro is a gentle soul. He was found on the streets in phoenix with multiple abuse injuries' from his previous owners. Despite the life that he faced before, he continues to see the best in everyone he comes across. He has a little brother and an older sister which he has shown unconditional love for. He also has a profound love for water, whether its during bath time or the pool. Shortly after we had brought Astro home he had a rectal prolapse which was fixed with a stitch that day. 2 weeks later when the stitch was taken out, he had a reoccurrence. From then he has undergone 4 procedures to push his rectum in and place a new stitch. We have been to 4 different animal hospital (Alta Mesa, VCA, Crown Urgent vet, and Lovet). Our last option is a colopexy surgery. Astro's health has been our top priority since he has came home with us. However, I am a full time student in med school, & the vet bills have begun to stack into the thousands. This surgery is a long term solution for us. A colopexy surgery is estimated to be around $4,000.
