This is our family’s handsome dog Otto. We adopted him about 1 year ago and ever since, he has been the most loving, energetic, and playful dog. He suffers from arthritis in his joints caused by an abusive , constantly making play time difficult, but it never stops him. Recently Otto suffered a slipped disk in his back. While we originally thought he had a knee issue as he has not been able to walk around without crying, the fear with this is that this injury can paralyze him at any time. 

He requires an MRI and surgery to recover and be fully functional again, but in the midst of a pandemic that makes finances difficult, the necessary surgery for him is expensive beyond what is doable right now for our family. We desperately want to be able to take care of his needs and keep in him in our home for years to come.  Any and all contributions are appreciated to get our boy back to his loving and playful self! :)
