Axel is my 6-year-old black lab, and he’s always been the happiest when he’s outside playing catch. Recently, Axel tore his back leg ACL, and it’s been heartbreaking to see him go from an extremely active dog to needing sedation just to keep him from making his injury worse. He misses running and playing, and I miss seeing him so full of life.

The funds raised will go directly toward Axel’s surgery and recovery. This procedure is his best chance to get back to the playful, loving dog he’s always been. Right now, I’m going through a divorce, and covering the cost of surgery just isn’t possible for me. It’s so hard to watch him suffer, knowing how much he loves life and how much he means to me.

If you’re able to help, Axel and I would be so grateful. Your support would give him the chance to heal and get back to doing what he loves most. Thank you for reading our story and for any kindness you can share.
