Drake's Eye Surgery

Donation protected
Dear Friends, 

We rescued Drake in 2010 from the Lehigh County Humane Society in Allentown, PA. He is our loyal, loving family dog & he's apart of all of our family's fondest memories. Our sister, Katie, moved to Santa Barbara for college in 2016 and Drake accompanied her as her west coast companion where they spent their days exploring & cuddling. 

Each of us have a special connection with Drake and those that have met him know how special his spirit is. Every interaction is full of love, affection, and a deep almost human-like connection.  Unfortunately, about 3 years ago Drake's eyesight began to deteriorate due to cataracts. A cloudy lens has taken over his vision and the vet has confirmed the diagnosis; Drake is almost 100% blind. 

All of the love that we have for Drake immediately turns into heartbreak each time he bumps into a wall or stumbles upon an object that he cannot see. Despite his debilitating eyesight, Drake is as sweet & loving as he has ever been. 

We need your help
After careful consideration and extensive veterinary follow ups, we've decided to proceed with cataract surgery to help Drake regain his vision. 

The cost of the operation is $6,500. 

By January of 2021, we are hoping to raise the funds to perform the surgery here in Los Angeles by a trusted doctor who specializes in the surgery. the surgeon has assured us that the surgery will likely relieve Drake of his cataracts & his vision will return to normal. 

Your help would mean the world to us...
Drake means the world to our family, and we know how many lives he's touched across the country during his travels from Pennsylvania to California. We look forward to restoring Drake's quality of life & resuming our many games of fetch once he regains his vision. 

To those that find the compassion to help fund Drake's surgery, we promise to share many updates in the form of pictures and videos to document Drake's condition & spirits his road to recovery.
