Tucker is my three-legged dog of thirteen years. On 17 May we rushed to Haarlem Animal Hospital with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $2,100. They have stabilized Tucker, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Tucker is more than a pet - Tucker walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $240 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 Haarlem Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,100 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,200 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $400 • Medication and follow-up visits: $150 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $350 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Martijn
