Support Bane's Recovery: Second ACL Surgery

Story

Hi, I’m Michelle, a dedicated dog mom, wife to Jeff, and proud mom to our son Layne. We live in Ohio and have always been passionate about our Rottweilers. Our dogs are more than pets—they are family. Bane, our sweet and loyal Rottweiler, has been part of our lives for years, bringing so much love, joy, and protection to our home. He is strong, playful, and the heart of our family, but unfortunately, he has faced some tough challenges with his health. In January 2025, Bane tore his ACL, and we worked hard to get him the surgery and care he needed. Now, just three months later, he has torn his other ACL, leaving him in pain and unable to move like his usual energetic self. Watching him go through this twice in such a short time has been heartbreaking. We are doing everything we can to get Bane the second surgery he needs so he can run, play, and live pain-free again. However, the financial burden of two major surgeries in three months has been overwhelming. We appreciate any support—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing Bane’s story. Every little bit helps us get him back on his paws! Thank you for being part of our journey and for showing love to our sweet Bane.
