Hi, I’m Aaron, and this handsome goof is Zephyr. He recently attempted a bold life choice: playing fetch… with a rock. Zephyr shattered the left side of his mouth and now needs dental surgery so he can eat, play, and smile without pain.

I wish I could cover this on my own, but the costs are beyond my budget right now. I have been unable to find work for a few years and most of my savings have been used for living expenses. As such, I can't afford to cover something like this at this time, but this is also something that can't be left unattended.

If you’ve ever met Zephyr, you know he’s pure sunshine with a tail. He has gotten me through the last 10 years of my life, he is my best friend, my baby, my everything. I hate that I can't afford to give him this treatment that he needs and deserves right now, and that this one silly mistake could have such dire consequences for both of us.

If you can donate, any amount will help, and if you can't, a share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping my best buddy get back to happy, safe chewing.

Your support will go directly to:

Pre-op exam & dental X-rays

Dental surgery (extractions/repairs as needed)

Pain meds & antibiotics

Post-op checkup and soft-food recovery

Estimated total: $4,000-7,000 CAD (itemized below).

If we’re lucky and it’s less, I’ll update the goal and share receipts; any remaining funds will go to Zephyr’s follow-up or be donated to a local animal rescue.

With gratitude,

Aaron & Zephyr

Here is the breakdown of costs:

Our vet’s estimate has a range because the exact number of teeth and surgical time aren’t known until X-rays and the procedure. $7,000 reflects the upper end so Zephyr can receive everything he needs without delay. I’ll post receipts and adjust the goal if it comes in lower or higher.
