Help with Otto's surgery costs

My sweet Otto-Mann was born 8 years ago in 2015 and has been my faithful companion since I rescued him as a puppy. Through all my adventures both joyous and dark, Otto has been faithfully at my side. In truth, he has rescued me too.

My future with Otto is at risk, however, as he is need of expensive surgery. On January 3rd, he fully tore his ACL and needs a surgery called TPLO. The diagnostic tests wiped me out at a cost of $1100. The complete surgery will cost $6000 with post-op therapy adding even more cost. Without the surgery, he will be permanently disabled. Currently, he is in pain and it is hard to see my faithful friend suffering so much.

If you have met Otto, you can understand why he is so special. He is a thoughtful, kind, intelligent, loving being. He has been accompanying me to work with children for several years now and has been a grounding and therapeutic energy for everyone. He has been such a gift to my life and the lives of those he has touched. Saving him, saves many more.

Today is my birthday and I am not asking for anything except support to help Otto. If you are able, I could really use your help.
