Blueberry needs Help!

My beloved Blueberry needs 2 new knees just 6 months after I adopted her & now I need a village to help me save her.


Blueberry was rescued in June by Deserving Dog Rescue & Rehabilitation. I met her in July 27th & adopted her August 8th.. I wanted a young dog because I did not want to put down another dog in the near future. I had just lost the last of my pack of 5 in February. After about 6 months, I realized I was lonely for another dog. So I started my search. I developed a list of requirements: had to like kids, cats, dogs & chickens, a good hiking companion. She was not the style of dog that I would have pick - she was one of those dreaded pit bulls. She was only 9 months old but had not been adopted out because of her looks, but it was love at first site :


Fast forward 6 months & she has become a much love member of the family, neighborhood, my office complex& the hiking trails around home. She's the best with my grandkids & I find myself telling people that I trust her with my grandkids more than any other dog I've had. She graduated kindergarten with flying colors & was voted the class clown. She is always happy. I named her Blueberry because she kind of answered to Blu, but I needed a name to put people at ease. People smile, kids laugh when I call her & then they want to know about her. She's a great ambassador for the breed.


So, at the ripe age of 16 months old - Blueberry needs 2 "˜TPLO' surgeries. One for each leg. She so lame now that she will need them one after the other. From her x-rays, it looks like she was in an accident before she was recused that may have aggravated her condition. The surgeries will cost me $3,350 each. I've managed to raise $1,400 myself through my family, friends & Deserving Dog Rescue & Rehabilitation, but I need $5,300 more.


My husband just had a double knee replacement (I don't think the knee problems are contagious!) & 2 eye surgeries in the last 6 weeks. His medical bills are piling up. In any other year, I could've worked extra hours, saved more, but I'm already doing as much as I can. I refused to let her go.



I figure if 530 people donated $10.00, or 212 people donated $25.00, Blueberry would have her new knees. Any amount & all donations will be accepted with great appreciation and gratefulness.


I don't have many Facebook friends, so please pass forward this link.
