Help this sweet setter boy!

We are putting a Raffle together for our wonderful foster boy Elton. Elton is an approximately 6 year old setter boy that has an acute Hiatel Hernia which prevents him from leading the good life he should be. We have tried to alleviate his discomfort with chiropractic adjustments, however, the hernia is so bad that those alone will not take care of the issues.

Elton is in constant distress from heartburn, which causes him to drink water excessively, pant constantly, at times throw up his food and due to the excessive drinking causes him to have some accidents in the house. We have sought medical advice from a specialist who determined that Elton needs surgery to restore a chance and a normal life. Surgery cost and post-operative cost is running $1,300 to $2,000.

Raffle Option #1: A Beautiful Setter Quilt

John Good has graciously donated a hand made quilt to raffle off to raise funds to pay for Elton's surgery. The quilt has a size of approximately 5' x 6'.
