My name is Jared Zack. I am the owner of a handsome, sweet, and very active 7 year old Lab/Shar Pei Mix named Ollie. He has been my baby and best friend since he was 2 months old and has touched the lives of many others since then. For his recent 7th birthday, he got to run around at the beach with other pups and unfortunately, tore a ligament in his hind leg during the excitement, he hasn't been able to put any weight on the leg since. With his age and activity level, the ideal treatment for this injury is a TPLO surgery, which is a very costly procedure that must be done as soon as possible to prevent him from incurring early onset arthritis and effecting the rest of his life. He'll also need a few months of physical therapy to get his leg back to normal function. In the midst of all of this, I am applying to go to graduate school to become a Physician Assistant, which is also a very costly process, so I have been put in a difficult situation. He is my heart and soul, I want nothing more than to see my puppy running around and enjoying his life like he was prior to getting the injury. Every donation will make us one step closer to getting my baby back to normal as soon as possible and helping him live a very long, healthy life.
