Rocky's Story: From Christmas Joy to Fighting for His Life
Rocky came into our lives just a year ago. He was supposed to be our new beginning—a bundle of floppy ears, soft paws, and a howl that made the whole house laugh. He is barely a year old, but he is already the heart of our family.

Last week, he stopped playing. His leg swelled to twice its size. The pain in his eyes was something no pet owner should ever have to see.
Why We Are Asking For Help
We thought we were responsible. We had a CareCredit card with a $10,000 limit specifically for emergencies. We drove to the vet confident we could save Rocky's life.
When we handed over the card, it was declined. We called the bank in a panic, only to learn that due to "economic adjustments," they had slashed our limit to $800 without a single warning.
The surgery, Surgical Debridement & Reconstruction, is expensive. The vet has a strict policy: no insurance, no payment plans, cash upfront.
100% of all donations go directly to Rocky's veterinary care. Vet bill proof available upon request (redacted for privacy).
