Hello, we are the Young family, and we are reaching out with an urgent plea to help save our beloved dog, Dutch. Dutch is a 3-year-old toy poodle and an irreplaceable member of our family — a beloved companion we cannot imagine life without.

Dutch has been diagnosed with a severe intestinal blockage and urgently needs surgery to survive. For the past three days, he hasn’t been able to eat at all. He originally weighed only 7.7 lbs, but in just a few days, he has lost 1.3 lbs and has become weak, lethargic, and unable to enjoy walks or play as he used to.

The veterinarian has told us that emergency surgery is the only way to save him. The total estimated cost for the surgery, hospitalization, and medications is over $10,000, and this must happen immediately to give Dutch a fighting chance.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will be a tremendous help in allowing Dutch to receive the surgery he needs, recover his strength, and come home. We are deeply grateful for your generosity, your kindness, and for keeping Dutch in your thoughts and cheering him on.
