Help This Long Beach Puppy With His Vet Bills

Petey is a 7-month-old yellow labrador from Long Beach who needs help.

Bri D. posted his story on the Patch Bulletin Board:

Hello everyone! I am raising money for a very sick Long Beach puppy named Petey.

I know many dog lovers will see this, and with your help we may be able to raise the money to help this little baby regulate his diabetes and be able to see again! Almost his entire life Petey has been in and out of the hospital doing blood tests and getting checked up on. Unfortunately it is near impossible to find medical insurance for a dog with a preexisting condition. We love Petey with all our hearts and want to do everything we can to make him comfortable and happy. Sadly, about a week ago Petey became blind virtually overnight due to cataracts caused by high blood sugar. There is hope for our 7 month old, if we can raise 10,000 dollars we can afford to get Petey the cataract surgery he needs to see again. We can not do this without you! Petey is the sweetest most adorable puppy and everyday my heart breaks for him. Read more here.

Here’s Petey’s GoFundMe campaign. Click the photo for more photos and to donate to his fund.
