While playing, adoptable shelter pup, Frank, got a little too enthusiastic and chewed up one of his toys…then swallowed most of it.

If you’ve met Frank, you know he’s a goofy, adventurous puppy with ears as big as the love he has to give! But like many young dogs, his curiosity got the best of him—and it nearly cost him his life.

He was rushed to the emergency vet by his foster, where they tried to induce vomiting five times. Nothing. They attempted to retrieve the toy with an endoscope, but there was just too much material. The only option left was surgery.

Frank underwent emergency surgery to remove the toy, and thankfully—it was a success. He’s now recovering and is expected to be released from the hospital tomorrow (7/2). But the procedure, overnight care, diagnostics, and round-the-clock monitoring come with a steep price: his total medical bills are estimated at $7,000.

Our medical team was with him overnight with no sleep. We didn’t plan for this. But when an animal is in crisis, we act—no matter the cost.

Now, we’re turning to our community to help us cover this unexpected, lifesaving care.

Your donation today will help cover:

Emergency surgery
Hospitalization and supportive care
Multiple attempts to avoid surgery (including the endoscopy and induced vomiting)
Post-op monitoring and recovery

Frank is a young dog with so much life and learning ahead of him. He’s the kind of pup who promises to bring joy, adventure, and a little bit of mischief into someone’s life. We just need to get him through this first.

Can you chip in today to help cover Frank’s $7,000 emergency care?

Every dollar helps us get back on track—and ensures that Frank (and others like him) always have someone to count on when things go wrong.

Anything raised beyond the cost of Frank’s care will go directly to helping the next pet in crisis.
