Hello. My name is Mitch. My wife Sharaya and I live in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado. We have been married for 3 years and are a hard working couple who earns a living in the hospitality industry, which as we all know, has severely impacted our income this year. We have always wanted a beautiful puppy of our own. Me, for a best friend and hunting companion. My wife to spoil with her overwhelming love. We have waited for the last ten years for this. On August 24th, my wife got Drake for me for my 40th birthday. We have been in absolute love since the very moment we met him. He is so sweet, adventurous, smart, cuddly and loving; he has completely stolen our hearts. Then, in a blink of an eye while out for a walk, Drake was ran over by a vehicle just feet in front of me. It is a miracle that he had no damage to his major organs, but the incident has left him with a broken Scapula and a dislocated hip which has severed his tendons and ligaments holding the joint in place. Drake needs immediate surgery to repair his injuries.We are the last people on earth to ask for donations, we would certainly not if there were any alternatives. Estimates are in the $10,000-$12,000 Range. We are hoping for around half of this to help us financially and get Drake the best care that we can so he lives the best life possible with us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Mitch and Sharaya Kortus❤️
