Hi everyone! My name’s Claudia, dog mom to a smart, lovable, and loyal 4-year-old Pomsky. Nova loves life and going on adventures with me. Sadly, she tore her ACL/CCL and now she can’t run, jump, play, or even walk like she used to Nova has always been a playful, curious, and happy girl, but now she lives most days with pain, inflammation, and a limp that requires daily medication. This injury has really gotten her feeling down, since she can’t do any of the things she used to enjoy, like playing soccer, hiking, & running on the beach.

The vet let us know that Nova now requires knee surgery, so that she can live a quality life again without pain. As a full-time doctoral student, money is tight and my current finances just won’t cover it. Therefore, I humbly ask that you please consider donating towards Nova’s knee surgery and/or sharing this fundraiser with others. She’s gotten me through very tough times and I’m determined to get her through this difficult one. Any amount, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated! Nova and I thank you!!
