Help Bandit Bounce Back from CCL Tear
Donation protected
Meet Bandit, the beloved Lab Husky mix who has brought immeasurable joy and companionship to his owner, Joseph. Recently, however, Bandit encountered a painful setback as he tore his CCL during an energetic play session, initially injuring his leg while on a weekly hike at Tryon Creek in Portland, OR. One day, Bandit went from walking to full-on sprinting to chase a bird, resulting in a partial CCL tear. Despite efforts with a custom-made brace and physical therapy sessions, Bandit's condition worsened, leading to a complete tear, hindering his mobility and once vibrant spirit. To help Bandit regain his zest for life, he now requires specialized TPLO surgery, the only option to ensure he can walk normally again. As his devoted owner navigates this unexpected challenge, we're rallying together to support them in covering the hefty medical expenses. All proceeds raised will go directly towards Bandit's surgery and subsequent physical therapy. Your generous contribution will not only alleviate the financial burden but also ensure that Bandit can return to bounding through life with the same enthusiasm that has touched so many hearts during his adventures. Together, let's help Bandit get back on his paws and back to the adventures he loves.
