Banks is in dire need of donations. Sweet, 6-month-old golden retriever puppy Banks is just a baby facing a major hurdle, a bowel obstruction. When his owner contacted us tearfully today in urgent need of our help to keep him alive, we said YES. Now we need YOUR help to make this happen.

Banks is facing a life-threatening problem, he's been diagnosed with an intestinal obstruction. However, we are not dealing with just one – there are TWO. He was not himself all weekend, lethargic, vomiting and now, he cannot keep anything down. Unfortunately, finances affect everyone these days and his owners could not afford this expensive, life-saving surgery. Banks is very dehydrated and extremely lethargic. We are getting x-rays, bloodwork, anti-nausea medication as well as fluids going to get him hydrated. The emergency vet is confirming the location of the blockage and waiting for the on-call surgeon to arrive.

Six months old, with a whole life left to live. What should be an energetic puppy, bounding around all over the place with no off switch, is a sad, lethargic puppy with no energy to do anything. His eyes are sunken in, his happy fun-loving spirit is gone, all he can manage to do is sleep and whimper. Please help us give Banks his life back, help us give him a second chance.

The initial quote is hefty and not something we can do without everyone's help. With a minimum of $10,000 to save this poor boy's life, we need all the help we can get, and fast.
