I am currently serving as active duty in the Navy, but due to medical reasons, I am being retired and will need to move across the country. This transition is already a big challenge, but what weighs on me most is figuring out how to bring my dog, Chucho, with me. Chucho is a goofy and sweet Doberman Pinscher who has been my constant companion. I adopted him during one of the lowest points in my life, and he has truly kept me going ever since. His playful spirit and loyal presence have helped me through some of my toughest days, and I can’t imagine starting this new chapter without him by my side.

Unfortunately, the costs of moving and medical retirement have made it impossible for me to afford transporting Chucho on my own. The funds raised here will go directly toward a pet transport service, ensuring Chucho can travel safely and comfortably to our new home. Your support would mean the world to both of us. If I can’t raise enough to ship him, I would be faced with the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to a shelter, which I desperately want to avoid. Any help you can give is deeply appreciated, and will help keep our little family together as we start this next chapter.
