Our Rocco Hurts. Please Help Provide ACL Surgery

This past summer, our Rocco tore his ACL while playing in the back yard. We were hoping to get him into surgery as soon as my wife, Sharon, returned to employment as she was part of a downsize as of May of 2019 with 22-years with her company in the medical field. Largely due to Covid, so far she has been unable to find employment. I am disabled, so our situation is dire as it has placed us in poverty status, eating from food pantries, trying to fight to care for our dogs, save our home and pay our bills. 

Currently, Rocco's pain has increased to the point now that we lift him into the car, onto the couch, and into our bed at night. The doctor has prescribed Joint Health Supplements that allow him, temporarily, to regain some of his ability to walk; however, at 6-years of age, he really needs this surgery for his torn ACL. We ask, we plead: If you can, could you please help us fund his tests and exams, surgery, and aftercare. Rocco should not suffer any longer due to our inabilities. He has already suffered far too long.

We are in a desperate situation and need your help. Wanting to be as transparent as possible, we are providing the bills and estimates of Rocco's needs. Below is one bill, unpaid; and two low/high estimates. We did assume the high, just in case.

Please, again, we humbly ask that, if you can, you help Rocco, and us, by donating financially, today. No amount is too small.

His surgery is being provided by Alpena Veterinary Clinic
