Ruger's Recovery Fund

Donation protected
Hello, everyone,

We're reaching out on behalf of our dear friend, Matt Neeb. Matt is an extraordinary individual, a caring husband, and a devoted father to his two fur babies, Ruger and Riley. For Matt, his pets aren't just dogs - they are family, his children. He's loved and cared for Ruger and Riley as his own for the past five years, filling their lives with warmth, safety, and a lot of treats!

However, recently, a heartbreaking incident struck their little family. Ruger, the brave and spirited boy, fell prey to an unknown infection that led to a devastating blood clot. Despite the swift actions taken and medical treatments provided, the clot ultimately cut off circulation to his paws. The unfortunate and tough decision was made to amputate Ruger's paws to save his life.

This ordeal has led to substantial veterinary expenses. To date, Matt has spent nearly $26,000 on vet visits, hospital stays, and surgery bills. Being the sole provider in his household, this unexpected financial burden has put a significant strain on their resources. Today, we are reaching out to you for help.

Your generous donations will go directly towards reimbursing the costs Matt has already incurred and will also help cover the cost of Ruger's ongoing post-operative care, including the fitting of prosthetics and rehabilitation. This will ensure Ruger can continue to live a healthy, active life.

For Matt, this isn't just about restoring Ruger's ability to run and play; it's about returning a sense of normalcy to their lives. But most importantly, it's about giving Ruger the chance to experience the unconditional love he's given so freely, in return.

No amount is too small, and every donation will bring Ruger one step closer to regaining his mobility, his freedom, and his zest for life. Matt, Ang, Ruger, Riley, and their whole family would greatly appreciate your kindness and generosity in this challenging time.

If you cannot donate, you can still help by sharing this campaign with your networks. Let's stand together and support Ruger and the Neeb family during this trying time.

Thank you for taking the time to read about Ruger's story. We will keep you all updated on his recovery process. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us and to Matt and Ruger especially.
