Check with your local humane society. I'm sure they could direct you to someone. Hope that helps.  |

I would check with the ASPCA/Humane society in the area. They tend to help out when money is a problem, though I can't say whether they'll be happy to return the dog (generally, if its just a really expensive surgery and they can still care for the dog, it should be fine).  |

I have to agree with BCAR and Emi. They (humane societies and the like) will find a way to help get this poor pup the surgery and care that he needs with donations made from area people and companies. Emergency vets are probably higher priced than just a regular vet, so I wouldn't go that route.  |

check with your local vet offices, too. Ours has a fund for people who take good car of their pets but run into financial difficulties.  |

well if money is an issue then give the dog to someone who can afford the dog.. no offense.  |

I hate to sound harsh, but I agree with Shortmuffin here. If you can't afford the care, maybe it's best you give the dog to someone who can. Also, look into pet health insurance. I have it on my doggie.  |

Emergency vets actually have higher rates usually because often you have to pay just for making an appointment. I agree with those who mentioned the Humane Societies, they often have surgeries cheaper than most clinics would charge for them.  |

Please don't get into that conversation with me...I am the last person you need to advise. It isn't my dog and the dog is getting surgery..Im just searching for places that may offer more help than a regular vets office.  |

You need to do some phone work on this one. There are vet who are willing to work with you. Sometimes they will take payments. The local humane society can help you, be up front with them and tell them exactly how much money you can afford.  |
