Kiowa's Heart Surgery

Donation protected
I am raising money for my 14 week old puppy Kiowa. Kiowa is a working Bluetick Coonhound bought in the UK. Kiowa was bought to train up as a Mantrailing dog, to help with the search for high risk missing people, such as those with dementia, mental health or any other reason that would cause some one to be high risk. 
I do this voluntarily to help those in need and fund my own training.
Kiowa was sold to me with a heart murmur, which the breeder knew about but did not tell me! I had to find out my self 2 weeks later. When I spoke to the breeder, I was not prepared to give him back and the response I got was 'I'll give you your money back what more do you fucking want!' and promptly hung up on!
After 2 days the breeder agreed to give me half my money back and to keep the puppy.

The murmur is due to the narrowing of his right heart valve which flows blood to the lungs.
Kiowa's life expectancy is one to two years of age, so he will not be able to be trained.
His heart valve can be fixed by surgery which has a good success rate. After which he should be able to lead a normal life and become a trailing dog for missing people.

Because of the circumstances, although Kiowa was insured the day I brought him home at 8 weeks old, the insurance company will not cover the surgery due to it being a pre existing condition!

Kiowa has had a heart scan where the right side of his heart is already enlarged where it's had to work harder to pump the blood. He is currently on beta blockers and will need surgery in the next month to have the best chance.

The money will be used, along with my own to cover the heart scan, surgery and any further medication he will need afterwards. Can you help us out? Your donation will directly help him have a full and meaningful life,  and for all those that may need our help in the future.

Any help you can give would mean the absolute world!
