Parker's Vet Bill Donation Fund

My name is Nichole, from Jacksonville, Florida. I’m raising money to help cover the cost of vet bills for my sweet dog, Parker. Paker saved the lives of myself, my partner and our two cats by scaring off an armed robber in our home. He suffered two gunshot wounds in the process, so 100% of the funds raised will go towards paying for his impending surgery.

On Thursday, December 15, around 3 a.m., an armed intruder broke into our home through the bedroom window while my partner and I were asleep on our couch in the living room. The intruder must have thought no one was home and began rifling through our belongings with the intent to steal valuables. Before either my partner or I realized that we were being robbed, our 9-year-old dog, Parker, sprang into action and began barking while running towards the intruder. While protecting us and our two cats, Parker was shot in the leg twice as he was trying to scare the shooter off. We all were able to escape the house with our lives and thanks to our reliable close by friends, we were able to get Parker rushed to the emergency vet where they were able to treat and cast his broken leg.

Things were stolen, and walls, furniture, and floors were damaged, but everyone has their life and that’s what matters most. We’re all very happy to be reunited and getting some rest after all the stress and trauma. Parker is back home safe and sound, but after his most recent check-up and bandage change appointment at the vet, we were given the news that he will need surgery in order to properly be able to use his leg again.

Herein lies the reason for this Go Fund Me. Any amount donated would go directly toward Parker's vet bill fund and would be endlessly appreciated. My partner and I are full-time students who work full-time as well, and we simply cannot afford such a large out-of-pocket expense.

My partner and I never thought we could love anyone or anything as much as we love our dog Parker, and after this, we are eternally grateful that fate blessed us with such an amazing, heroic pet like him. My family owes our lives to Parker, and now we are in need of some help to build us back better than ever.

Thank you for your consideration, Parker loves you.
