**Help Bear Get the Surgery He Desperately Needs**

Hi, my name is Devyn, and I’m reaching out for help on behalf of my best friend, Bear.

Bear is a 7-year-old Dutch Shepherd who has been my constant companion since the day he was born. I was there when his mom gave birth to him, and from the moment I saw his playful nature and those giant ears that stood straight up, I knew he was meant to be part of my life.

Over the years, Bear has been my source of joy and comfort through every challenge. He’s brought happiness not just to me, but to everyone who meets him. Unfortunately, Bear is now battling a painful condition called stomatitis, which causes severe sores in his mouth. Despite previous dental surgeries, the condition has worsened, and he now needs urgent surgery to remove several teeth to alleviate his pain and give him the chance to live a healthy, happy life.

I’ve been doing everything I can to take care of him, but my situation has become increasingly difficult. Gig work has dried up, my car is in need of repairs I can’t afford, and although I’ve recently started a new job, it doesn’t pay enough to cover all my bills or Bear’s surgery. I’m doing my best to juggle this job, apply for better opportunities, and manage Bear’s multiple fundraisers—but time is running out, and Bear’s pain is worsening.

I’m humbly asking for your support to help Bear get the surgery he desperately needs.

Your contributions will directly cover:

- **Veterinary surgery** to remove Bear’s damaged teeth

- **Post-surgery medications** and follow-up appointments

- **Basic living expenses** for Bear and me as I work to regain financial stability

Bear has always been more than a pet; he’s family. He’s part of a close-knit group of his mom, siblings, and cousins who all bring joy to our family reunions. I want nothing more than to see him pain-free and happy again, running and playing like the dog he’s always been.

Every bit of support helps, whether it’s a donation, sharing this campaign with friends and family, or keeping Bear in your thoughts. Together, I know we can get him the care he needs.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for considering helping my sweet boy.

With gratitude,
Devyn
