Calina the Rottweiler needs your help! (CCL SURGERY)
Donation protected
Can't believe life's brought me here i pride myself on hard work and making my own way in this tireless and grueling life. Over the past few months life has thrown me and my dog family copious amount of hurtles and hardship. Let me start with something joyful though September 2023 I had the privilege along side my late bestfriend Cinco (my first male rottweiler) and Calina (the female Rottweiler asking for your help now) to bring a bundle of 6 beautiful Rottweilers into the world. All of which were rehomed with loving families bringing them joy still today. We kept one son here to be a part of are family and he (Chael) is a light to this day. One year later (October 2024) is when reality struck Calina blew out her first ACL and Meniscus full tears and required CCL surgery costing well over 6 thousand dollars. With the power of credit cards and alot of hard work/rehab we made it happen. 2 weeks later the unimaginable happened at the young age of 5yo Cincos life was tragically taken by blastomycosis, we tried everything and spared no expense but my best friend died in my arms November 5th 2024, The debt now piling up me and my dwindling dog family have been struggling tirelessly to make ends meet and keep on pushing on. Which brings us too now July 5th 2025. What was supposed to be a celebratory weekend has turned tragic playing a light game of fetch became a life changer for us, with the blink of an eye Calina let out a cry. Having been through this before I was hoping for anything else but her inability to walk and use her leg let us know she has blown out her other ACL and Meniscus. The surgery she needs is $6500. With the debt from vet emergency room visits and surgeries from the past still hanging over i dont know how I will manage to make this happen for her (Calina). We come today asking for any and all help we can get. The emotional toll we have faced outweighs the financials 10 fold but unfortunately we live in a world of dollars and cents. So today I come to yall with the hopes you can find it in your hearts to help me and my Family. Thank you all and God Bless.
