Please help us save Blue! Our dog Blue is an amazing pup. He was the first addition to our young family and has been an invaluable source of love and strength to us. He is now 5 years old and a loving big fur brother to our two daughters (ages 4 and 2) and we never thought they might have to grow up without him.

We just got news that his stomach bloated and flipped and he needs life saving emergency surgery (GDV surgery) that will cost $10,135.51. We just gave the vet approval to start prepping for the operation because we can’t imagine life without our Mr. Fluffy (he has many affectionate names that our family and even passersby call him - he used to get so much love and attention when we used to live in the city and take him on walks), but also because the alternative just felt wrong. A flipped stomach is a terrible and painful death for dogs and if we said no then it was a death sentence.

Blue is the most loving dog I’ve ever known and he deserves a chance to live. Unfortunately, the vet says this is one of the most expensive surgeries they do. We’ve never had to set up one of these fundraisers, and we appreciate any help that we can receive to support his surgery and care costs. He’s getting ready for surgery right now and we hope that we can update this post with good news in the coming hours and days.
