Rally for Rocket's Life Saving Surgery
Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and community,
We are reaching out with heavy hearts to share the story of our beloved dog, Rocket, and to ask for your support during this incredibly difficult time. Rocket is our blue pitty, and he has been part of our family since he was a tiny puppy. He’s not just our pet—he’s a best friend, a protector, and a source of endless love and joy. Everyone who meets Rocket instantly falls in love with him. His gentle, loving nature lights up any room, and he has an incredible way of connecting with both children and adults alike.
Just after the holidays, Rocket began to show signs of being unwell. At first, we thought it was something minor, but his condition quickly worsened. After our first visit to the vet, we were told he had acute pancreatitis. While we hoped for a quick recovery, Rocket continued to deteriorate. He stopped eating and drinking, lost a significant amount of weight, and his health declined rapidly.
We’ve been back and forth to the vet multiple times, each visit more heartbreaking than the last. Most recently, it was discovered that Rocket needs life-saving emergency surgery. Between the initial veterinary care, diagnostic tests, and this critical surgery, we are now facing over $10,000 in medical expenses.
Rocket is more than a pet to us—he’s family. He has brought so much happiness to our lives and to everyone who crosses his path. We are desperate to do everything we can to save him, but we cannot do it alone.
We are humbly asking for help from those who know and love Rocket, as well as from kind-hearted strangers who may read his story. Any amount, no matter how small, will go directly toward Rocket’s medical care and help us give him the fighting chance he deserves.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read this, for sharing, and for contributing in any way you can. Rocket has so much love left to give, and with your support, we hope to bring him back home to his family and all the people whose lives he’s touched.
With gratitude,
