Krystine Puccerella had raised more than $600 of her $7,000 GoFundMe goal for Hunter, who she has owned since he was weeks old.  

"He has been bearing down to urinate without much urine coming out. After two vet visits, it was determined he has bladder and urethra stones," she said. 

"He is almost completely blocked and requires surgery to help him expel his urine properly. The vets at Garden State Veterinary Hospital say his prognosis is good, and I am not ready to say goodbye to my boy." 

In an update on Wednesday, Sept. 7, Puccerella wrote, "Thank you for your generous contributions. Hunter’s surgery went well, he is expected to make a full recovery. He will remain at the hospital for the next couple of days on pain meds. I know that it may seem crazy to spend so much on an old pup, but family is family. He would do ANYTHING for me, so I had to return the gesture."
