My name is John, and I’m reaching out for help for my best friend, Zane. Zane is a 3-year-old Rottweiler who has been my emotional support dog since he was a puppy. He’s always by my side, offering comfort and love, especially on tough days working as a caregiver in special education. His daily kisses and unwavering loyalty have helped me manage anxiety and stress, and I can’t imagine life without him.

Recently, Zane suffered a sudden and severe injury. One night, he got off the bed and started whimpering, and I quickly realized he couldn’t walk straight—he was only keeping three legs on the ground. After rushing to several pet clinics, we learned he has a crucial tear in his left hind knee, similar to an ACL injury in humans. The news was devastating. Our primary clinic quoted us a very high price for surgery, and after an unexpected car repair wiped out my savings, I’ve already spent a lot on Zane’s care so far. The lowest price we’ve found for his much-needed surgery is at Hannah Pet Hospital in Portland, Oregon.

Zane means the world to me. He’s not just a pet—he’s my family, my emotional support, and my best friend. He brings joy to everyone he meets and has always been there for me. Now, I want to be there for him. I feel like I am out of options, and this is my last hope. Any support you can offer will help Zane get the surgery he needs to walk again and live a happy, healthy life. Thank you for reading our story and for any help you can give.
