Finn is my rescue greyhound of six years. On 8 July we rushed to the Anaheim Emergency Vet Clinic with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $2,650. They have stabilized Finn, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Finn is more than a pet - Finn walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $250 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to the Anaheim Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,650 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,800 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $530 • Medication and follow-up visits: $125 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $195 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Óscar

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 24% funded and the plan for medication and follow-up visits is now scheduled.

  2. Quick update: $430 raised so far (16%). I made the first payment toward hospitalization. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
