Zero is my daughter's first dog and a beloved member of our family. He just turned three and is always full of energy—if you have a rope, he's ready to play for hours. My three girls absolutely adore him and his brother, and he brings so much joy and laughter into our home.

Recently, while playing rope with my daughter, Zero jumped up to catch it and landed wrong, breaking his leg. We spent all of New Year's Eve in the ER trying to get him the care he needed. After emergency bills, I learned that Zero needs orthopedic surgery to repair his leg. As a single father of three, I've exhausted my funds and am heartbroken that I can't afford the surgery on my own.

Zero is a strong boy, and I will do everything in my power to keep him healthy. Having him recover and come home healthy would mean the world to my daughters and me. I'm reaching out for help from anyone who can support Zero's recovery. Your kindness will help keep our family together and give Zero the chance to play, run, and be the happy, energetic dog he is.
