Help Juan save Rosie - surgery needed
A German shepherd named Rosie needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $3,500 bill the family cannot cover.
🇺🇸 Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States899 views
Rosie is my German shepherd of six years. On 23 August we rushed to Fayetteville Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $3,500.
They have stabilized Rosie, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Rosie is more than a pet - Rosie is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $180 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 Fayetteville Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $2,250
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $750
• Medication and follow-up visits: $250
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $250
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Stockholm
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Juan. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hang in there, Juan. Give Rosie a hug from me. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
