Help Atty Run Again!
Donation protected
Atty is my 1 and a half year old Service Dog, best friend, life saver, and squeaky toy enthusiast.
UPDATED PARAGARAPH: He was recently diagnosed and visually identified by the vet as a torn doggy ACL, and requires surgery. HOWEVER, it was decided AFTER OPENING ATTY UP during anesthesia for the ACL surgery to give Atty an MRI. The MRI revealed no torn ACL, but OCD lesions on both of his back knees.
We are doing this not only for HIS health, but for him to be able to get back to doing what he loves to do in being a companion and aid to those with disabilities, including those with mental health conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety.
“About 18 percent of American adults experience some form of mental health disorder. Overall, about 4 percent of American adults experience a severe or debilitating mental health disorder. This means that only a fraction of people who have a mental health disorder are qualified for a psychiatric service dog.”
With statistics like these, you can see why Atty’s job is so important and why he loves doing it so much.
Your donations will ensure that Atty receives the proper surgery and care, including post operation physical therapy.
Atty means so much to those that he helps and I hope we will be able to show love and thanks for his service and kindness. Thank you all so much!
