Hello fellow steemians of steemtopia, I wanted to ask this great community for a little help with my mothers rescue, she is having a hell of a time and she treats these dogs like they are her own children. Actually she treats them better than her own, I am only kidding.
Koda-Bear is a male 7-year-old Party Standard Poodle, who came to Standard Poodle Rescue of the Southwest on July 4, 2016. He and his sister, Bella, were left in their yard for 2 1/2 years after their owner died. They were occasionally being fed by the gardener. No other care was given to these pups (no grooming, no vet care, nor any human love).
FINALLY, someone had the sense to get them to us, and we stepped up to fully vet and care for these beautiful Standards. Koda had not been groomed for 2 1/2 years, he suffered massive ear infections, eye and skin issues and some minor behavioral issues.
We are attempting to raise funds because Koda-Bear has major hip dysplasia and needs to get a Hip Implantation, which is a hip replacement, in other words. This requires us to make a trip to Arizona from New Mexico to have this extensive surgery performed.
Koda will be having surgery at the Glendale complex.

We hope to return to NM 4 or 5 days post-surgery. Thanks to the generosity of a very special family, we have accommodations to stay during this time.
We never ask for help, but this dog's needs leaves us no choice, for surgery is very expensive and Standard Poodle Rescue has been inundated recently with owner-surrenders and puppy-mill Standard Poodles. Our finances have been exhausted.
We are asking for our Poodle Patriots to help us help Koda Bear.
We are a 501c-3, non-profit organization. All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible.
If you guys do not want to donate through that then all upvotes on this post will go towards the surgery and i will put your steemit accounts as mentioned that you donated on the GoFundMe.
