Save Rocky: Ariana can't afford the emergency vet
A rescue greyhound named Rocky needs orthopedic surgery - a $1,750 bill the family can't cover.

Rocky is my rescue greyhound of nine years. On 28 October we rushed to the Seattle Emergency Vet Clinic with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,750.
They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond January.
Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky got me through my hardest year. I have already put $230 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 Seattle Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $900
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $480
• Medication and follow-up visits: $145
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $225
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck, Ariana. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Gangnam
