Haylee and Mike Konyesni received some heartbreaking news on 8/6/25 that their 4-month old German Shepherd puppy, Bluu, has been diagnosed with dual Ununited Anconeal Process (UAP). Meaning, that he grew so fast that the growth plates in his elbows did not fuse together!! The only cure for this is a very expensive orthopedic surgery that can cost between $5,000 and $10,000.

Bluu (also affectionately known as Bluey, Bluu Bluu, Pisser), is a super active, rambunctious, sweet-as-pie boy, who is in an extreme amount of pain right now. Haylee and Mike are currently working with an orthopedic veterinarian on getting him the best care possible so that he can live a long, healthy, and pain free life with his two doggy sisters.

In order to help ease the financial burden of getting Bluu back on his feet (literally), we are asking Haylee and Mike's village of friends, family, and co-workers, if they can help contribute whatever they can monetarily to Bluu's surgery. Haylee and Mike are newlyweds, recently bought a house, and are just starting out their lives together! If you are unable to contribute, please share this fund so that we can get little Bluu the surgery he needs so he can start being a puppy again!

THANK YOU!!!

-Friends of Mike and Haylee
