The Animal Rescue League of Boston is working to provide critical surgery for a torn knee ligament to Ace, a one-year-old dog.

According to a statement from the ARL, Ace has been in their care for “several months,” suffering from a torn ACL, leaving him “unable to run and play in a pain-free manner.”

The statement says that while the ARL “offers the highest standards of care for every animal that comes through the organization’s doors,” but Ace’s operation and post-operative care will be “an expensive endeavor.”

The estimated cost of care is over $10,000, with the ARL seeking financial support from the public to improve Ace’s quality of life.

In addition to the surgery, the ARL is also seeking a home for Ace after his recovery is complete.
