Help Rocco Walk Again: ACL Surgery Fund

Donation protected
Hi there! I’m making this gofundme for our beloved family dog Rocco. He is a 6 year old Rottweiler/Great Dane mix. 120 lbs of pure love and would never hurt a fly(literally, I’ve watched him run into his crate because he was scared of a fly circling him). Everyone that knows him, loves him. The highlight of his day is when he gets the chance to sit on someone’s lap for cuddles.

Unfortunately, we are going through every pet owners worst nightmare right now… Rocco has torn both of his ACL’s and without surgery he will never be able to live life the same again. He is 6 years old and still has the other half of life ahead of him. For those that do not know, I just had a babygirl 5 months ago whom Rocco adores. Being a stay at home mom puts me in a position to never afford this surgery. Without getting the ACL’s fixed, he will never have the chance to see his baby sister get bigger and finally have the chance to play/cuddle with her.

I went back and forth whether or not to make a gofundme because these last few years have been challenging for everyone it seems like. However, I don’t think he will make it through this next winter coming up. Each leg costs $5,800-$6,800(I know, insane) to repair and includes post op recovery. Even if we raise enough money to fix one leg we will be in a better position financially to afford the other one. Our goal is to have one surgery before winter and get the other leg fixed next spring.

We are currently keeping Rocco in his crate and limiting activity as much as we can. Every donation and share is immensely appreciated in efforts to improve his quality of life.

With love,
Rocco and family
