Grandpa Rossy's Big Heart Fund

Please help us fund heart surgery for Grandpa Rossy. Bark from the Heart Rescue and Gale Tlapa want to give Rossy more than 6 more months to live. Gale is one of Bark from the Heart's very extra special volunteers, she not only donates time to be with our dogs a few times a week, but she has has adopted 4 senior dogs from us. Just days after Gale had made a decision to provide Rossi with a furever home, he was diagnosed with PDA (Patent ductus arteriosus), in other words a heart valve that is not working correctly. Without the surgery this guy has less than 6 months - with surgery he could live out a normal life, and the percentage of success is excellent.
Rossy is a spirited, happy, full of love terrier mix. At this time you would not know he is sick unless you listen to his rapid heart beat. We are so thankful we found the problem and found a solution. That's what Bark from the Heart is here for - to help this cute little guy have a complete life. We think Rossi is about 5 years old - he has another 10 years to live if we help him. Gale, an experienced senior dog owner, has volunteered for Bark from the Heart for years, passionately committed to helping rescues and ready to give this guy an amazing home. This will be the fourth dog she has adopted from us - it all began with Star (a senior Pit), Sunny Boy (a senior Brussels Griffon with multiple health issues) and Cassie (a senior beagle mix with all your typical seniors traits - part blind, deaf and confused). 
We would love to schedule surgery as soon as possible - please help Gale and Grandpa Rossy head out to Veternary Speciality Center  (as they say "the specialists in Buffalo Grove) and have the chance of a lifetime! We love you Grandpa Rossy.
