Service Dog Sasha Needs Surgery!
Donation protected
Sasha is a 4-year-old neurological medical alert service dog. She is my partner, my friend, and my lifeline.
About a year and a half ago, Sasha tore the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL; the analogue in humans is the ACL) in her right knee and had successful TPLO surgery. That operation allowed her to return to work, and her right knee is now strong.
Unfortunately, most dogs who experience this injury in one knee eventually have the same problem on the other side. That is exactly what has happened to Sasha.
We're now faced with a need for surgery on the left side, but I depleted my resources paying for her first operation. That's why I'm reaching out here. It's not something I would do if I had other options.
This operation will allow Sasha to resume her career, which should last for another 6+ years. Although she is otherwise healthy, Sasha will be unable to work again until she recovers from her knee surgery. While she is unable to work, my own life will continue to be limited by lost independence.
Sasha and I are grateful for any help, whether financial or word-of-mouth, that you might consider. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping Sasha get the care she needs.
