Ollie needs orthopedic surgery to help him walk without pain.

This sweet MARS alum is deeply loved — and right now, he needs our help.

Before Ollie was adopted, a veterinarian identified an orthopedic issue that would need surgical repair. Because this was a pre-existing medical condition known before adoption, MARS is committed to helping cover the care he needs.

Ollie needs a lateral suture repair, an orthopedic surgery that will help stabilize his leg and make everyday life more comfortable. His adopter has shared that Ollie can’t walk as far as he used to, and some days he comes home so sore and tired that he doesn’t even want to eat dinner.

For a dog as happy, loyal, and full of love as Ollie, that’s heartbreaking.

Ollie’s road to surgery has taken longer than anyone hoped. His surgery was first expected to happen last fall, but life, timing, winter safety concerns, and clinic transitions all played a role in pushing it back. Now, Ollie is ready. His adopter is ready. And MARS is working to get him scheduled as soon as possible.

His story is especially close to home.

Ollie’s adopter understands long recoveries in a way most of us never will. After surviving a devastating hit-and-run, she faced her own long road of healing. Ollie came into her life during that recovery and became part of her routine, her sense of safety, and her reason to keep moving forward.

He helped her heal.

Now, this sweet dog who helped his person through so much needs help of his own.

Ollie’s surgery is estimated to cost $1,500–$1,700. Your gift will help cover his orthopedic surgery and give Ollie the chance to enjoy more comfortable walks, easier days, and more happy moments with the family who loves him.
