My name is Leigh-Anne and the beautiful girl you see here is my Frankie. She is more than just a pet; she is my family, my shadow, and the incredible soul who saved me in my time of need. Now, I am desperately asking for your help to save her in hers.

Frankie just turned three years old this past August, and she has so much life and love left to give. But right now, we are facing a devastating crisis.

The Diagnosis: IVDD and the Need for Urgent Surgery

Frankie has been diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), a severe condition that causes intense pain and has left her unable to stand or walk on her own. Every day is a struggle managed with constant, strong medication.

The sad, frightening truth is that Frankie requires immediate, life-saving surgery. Without it, the devastating alternative is to say goodbye to her forever—a thought I simply cannot bear. We are not ready to say goodbye.

The Barrier: Upfront Costs

I am fighting with everything I have to save her, but I’ve hit a wall. The specialized veterinary care and surgery Frankie needs come with a significant cost. The vets are requiring the full funds upfront and are not able to offer a payment plan. This requirement is what stands between Frankie and a future where she can run and play again.

We Need Your Help to Raise 12 thousand pounds.

This amount will cover the crucial surgery, post-operative care, and essential rehabilitation that will get Frankie back on her paws.

Frankie has so much fight in her. She is the most loving, resilient dog, and she deserves a second chance at a pain-free life. I look at her and see the years of joy we still have ahead of us—years that depend entirely on the success of this fundraiser.

Please, if Frankie's story touches your heart, consider helping us:

Donate: Any amount, big or small, gets us closer to her surgery goal.

Share: Please share this appeal on all your social media platforms, emails, and with friends who love animals. The more eyes on Frankie’s story, the better chance we have.

Frankie and I appreciate every single one of you. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to share this burden mean the world and offer us a sliver of hope in this terrifying time.

Let's save Frankie. Let's give her the life she saved for me.

With deepest gratitude,

Leigh anne and Frankie
