Help Save Ace: Surgery needed for Puppy.

Meet Ace, a 9-month-old German Shepherd puppy who has already stolen the hearts of everyone who meets him. His playful antics and unwavering loyalty has brought us so much joy. Unfortunately now, Ace is facing a critical moment in his young life. He has been diagnosed with a life-threatening condition that requires immediate surgery. In this type of situations, that without immediate vet care, your only choice to relieve your pet's suffering would be euthanasia, let's not let that be the choice for Ace and his family to choose, together we can make a difference for Ace, his fur family of 6 and human family to be together without going through the heartache of loosing him. Without surgery, Ace’s future is uncertain and we could face that heartbreaking decision.

The Situation:

Ace has been diagnosed with a megaesophagus vascular ring anomaly that causes a persistent right aortic arch with diverticulitis. These conditions severely affect his ability to move food to his stomach, causing food to accumulate in his esophagus. Over time, this has led to chronic regurgitation, malnutrition, and significant discomfort for Ace.

Why Ace Needs Surgery:

The vascular ring anomaly is a congenital malformation of the great vessels associated with the heart and its branches. This anomaly has caused esophageal constriction causing a persistent right aortic arch that holds food in Ace's esophagus (it's like a pouch of food just sitting next to his heart weighing down his esophagus) this is a congenital defect leading to his severe megaesophagus. The surgery Ace needs will involve going through his chest removing this constriction and correcting the structure of his esophagus, allowing regurgitation to become less frequent and food to better get to his stomach so his body conditions can improve. If we don't have the surgery, Ace’s condition will continue to deteriorate, leading to life-threatening complications the worst being aspiration pneumonia due to regurgitation and if not caught in time, we'll kill him.

Why This Matters:

Ace is not just a pet—he is a beloved member of our family. Despite his struggles, he remains a loving, playful puppy who deserves the chance to live a full and healthy life.

My animals mean the world to me, I can tell each dogs bark apart, they all know my car and when I am home the neighborhood even knows...That's a bond we don't want to loose and Ace is apart of that bond. We love Ace with all are hearts and losing him will be devastating. I see it in his eyes. He is a survivor we just need help!

We are asking for everyone's help, to please share and no donation is to small.. every little bit gets Ace towards his goal for surgery to correct his esophagus to provide the food and nutritions he needs to flourish back into a healthy puppy.

• Post-Operative Care: Ace will need medications, follow-up visits, and possibly additional treatments to ensure a successful recovery.

The Urgency:

Time is running out for Ace. If we cannot raise the necessary funds, we will be forced to make the devastating decision to put him down.

We are pleading for your help to avoid this tragic outcome.
