Urgent Appeal: Help Arlo Walk Again - His Surgery is Tomorrow!

At Tails to Freedom, Inc., we often encounter animals in desperate need, but sometimes, a story arrives that truly tugs at our heartstrings and demands immediate action. Today, we're sharing the urgent story of Arlo, a brave 6-month-old pup who needs your help right now.

Meet Arlo: A Beloved Emotional Support Dog

Arlo is more than just a pet; he's a vital emotional support animal for his human, Jackie, in Milford, New Hampshire. He's a bundle of joy, full of youthful energy, and brings immense comfort to Jackie's life. Everyone who meets Arlo falls in love with his sweet disposition.

A Fateful Jump and a Devastating Diagnosis

Late last Thursday night, a moment of playful exuberance turned into a nightmare. Arlo, in his usual energetic fashion, jumped off Jackie's bed but landed tragically wrong. The next morning, he was rushed to the Animal Hospital of Nashua, where X-rays revealed heartbreaking news: Arlo had sustained three significant breaks in his leg.

The situation was critical, and Arlo needed specialized surgical intervention immediately. After initial referrals to other facilities that were fully booked, Arlo was finally seen at the Massachusetts Veterinary Referral Hospital in Woburn. The diagnosis was clear: Arlo desperately needs surgery to save his leg and ensure he can live a pain-free, active life.

The Urgency: Surgery Scheduled for Tomorrow Morning!

The most pressing detail is the timeline: Arlo's crucial leg surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning, Monday! This is why we are reaching out to our incredible community late on Sunday evening – time is truly of the essence. The estimated cost for this complex procedure is between $6,000 and $8,000 USD, and the full amount must be paid upfront. Without this surgery, the only other option, a heartbreaking one, would be amputation.

Arlo's family has been working tirelessly to gather the necessary funds, and through their incredible efforts, they have already raised nearly $6,000! This is a testament to their dedication and the power of community support.
