Hi, my name is Erika and I’m fundraising for my sweet dog Bear. Bear is only 6 years old and has brought so much love, joy, and companionship into my life and into the lives of everyone who knows him. He truly has a love for life. He adores people, the outdoors, and every little adventure that comes his way.

Recently, Bear was diagnosed with bilateral torn knees and a left CCL tear, and may also need surgery on his back. Without surgery, his mobility and quality of life will continue to decline. With surgery, Bear has the chance to live a long, happy, pain-free life filled with the energy and love he’s always shown.

The cost for his surgeries is estimated to be between $15,000–$25,000, which is far beyond what I can manage on my own. I’m reaching out to friends, family, and anyone who has a soft spot for animals to please consider helping Bear.

No amount is too small — every single donation gets us closer to giving Bear the chance to walk, run, and play again. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read Bear’s story, and for helping us give him the life he deserves.

With gratitude,

Erika, Nick & Bear
