Meet Lucky, an adorable fourteen-year-old Jack Russell Terrier from Nebraska who is currently battling a serious and painful condition—a tooth root abscess. To help him recover, Lucky urgently needs surgery to extract teeth that is estimated to cost $983.85. Paws 4 A Cure is providing a $250 grant, but his mom is trying to raise an additional $800 for the remainder of the funds that Lucky needs to move forward with the treatment.

His loving mom has shared his heartfelt story, which you can read—along with more adorable photos—on Lucky’s fundraising page.

You can help make a life-changing difference for Lucky and his family by making a tax-deductible donation toward his veterinary care. Every dollar brings him closer to healing.

If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing her fundraising page helps spread the word and brings us closer to our goal.

Thank you for being a part of Lucky’s journey. Let’s give his the chance he deserves.
