What's Happened to Bippy?

Kristin and Ryan Golden’s beloved pup, Glorfindel (affectionately known as Bippy), recently had a rough start to his morning at Willard Beach. While chasing a seagull across the icy sand, Bippy took a tumble and injured his ankle and foot. After a successful surgery, several pins and a cast, Bippy is on the road to recovery with a good prognosis. However, the journey ahead includes weeks of bedrest under sedation, back-and-forth vet visits, special daycare, and several months of physical therapy before he can be fully mobile and play with his friends on the beach again.

Bippy Care Costs are Piling Up

Unfortunately, Kristin and Ryan don’t have pet insurance, and the costs of ongoing vet care, medications, and rehabilitation are adding up quickly.

What inspired me to start this fundraiser?

I love Kristin and Ryan's compassion for their dog, other animals, and the people around them, and I am honored to be one of their friends. PLUS...Bippy is my pup Indy's BFF, and he was heartbroken to see his buddy hurt. Indy gave me those puppy dog eyes that begged me to fix it ... but alas, all I could do was put up this page and ask for donations and positive healing vibes from our friends, neighbors, and Willard Beach dog community.

Thank you!

Kristin and Ryan are grateful to the many people who have already reached out asking how to help. If you can contribute, no matter the amount, it will make a huge difference (and reduce some stress) in getting Bippy back on all four paws again. Thank you so much for your kindness and support!
