UPDATE (July 2026): Thanks to your incredible support, Mickey D's first surgery is complete. We are now raising funds for his final reconstructive jaw surgery at UC Davis this Thursday. The campaign goal reflects the cost of both stages of his medical care.When Mickey D arrived at Hugs For Harry from Stockton Animal Services, our hearts sank.

When Mickey D came to Hugs for Harry, he wasn't just suffering from painful dental disease—he had a devastating injury to his jaw.

Because of your incredible generosity, we were able to give him the first stage of the specialized care he desperately needed. That initial treatment included advanced diagnostics, CT imaging, specialty dental surgery, hospitalization, and the extraction of 19 severely diseased teeth.

Your support has already made the impossible possible.

But Mickey D's journey isn't over.

Now that his gums have healed, the specialty team at UC Davis is ready for the second—and most important—stage of his treatment.

This Thursday, Mickey D will undergo reconstructive jaw surgery.

His surgeons will perform new CT and cone beam scans before rebuilding his fractured jaw. If everything looks as expected, they will place a specialized bridge designed to encourage new bone growth and permanently stabilize his jaw so it can heal correctly.

This surgery will allow Mickey D to eat comfortably, live without chronic pain, and finally have the quality of life every dog deserves.

Why is our fundraising goal $11,500?

This campaign covers Mickey D's complete medical journey, not just a single procedure.

Stage One (already completed): Advanced specialty consultation, CT imaging, hospitalization, dental surgery, and extraction of 19 teeth.
Veterinary investment: $6,544.17
Stage Two (needed now): Reconstructive jaw surgery at UC Davis.
Estimated cost: $5,800

Together, these two phases bring Mickey D's total medical costs to more than $12,000.

Because of your generosity, Stage One is behind him.

Today, we urgently need to raise the funds for Stage Two.

With only days before surgery, every donation—large or small—will help give Mickey D the chance to live free from pain.

Thank you for believing that every life matters.

Thank you for believing in Mickey D.
