In January of this year, Bobo the Frenchie became a huge part of our family when we collected him from a couple in Liverpool. When collecting Bobo we were completely reassured that he was of full health and would live a long and happy life with his new family.

After having Bobo home for a few months and seeing what a loving, loyal dog he was, we were in complete disbelief to why the couple would want to rehome him.

However, we began to question the previous owners as time went by as Bobo's health began to deteriorated hugely, and with his previous owners refusing to provide us with any of Bobo's medical history, no one knew what was wrong.

On Monday 23rd July, the reason Bobo's previous owners had rehomed him under false information regarding his health quickly became clear. We were given heart-breaking news of Bobo's health and are in complete shock to how anyone could have let Bobo suffer like this.

We were told that Bobo has a severe cleft palette and is struggling to inhale any oxygen when he breathes. Bobo's previous owners were fully aware of the severity of his breathing problems, however allowed him to continue to struggle when rehoming him under false information.

Alongside the severity of Bobo's cleft palette, we were given heart-breaking news regarding the deterioration of Bobo's health. We were informed that the vet had found a large growth in Bobo's throat, covering the majority of his airways, amongst finding extreme levels of pneumonia in his lungs, that they are certain he has had since a young age.

Last night, Bobo went into Cardiac arrest due to the strain his body is experiencing in order to inhale oxygen through his restricted airways, and have been informed that Bobo must be given emergency surgery to relieve the restrictions on his airways. We have been the chance to save Bobo's life with emergency surgery costing £5,000 and would appreciate every single donation in order to reach the amount.
