Pippa needs Surgery
Donation protected
I am reaching for a wonderful loving family who needs our help to help save their girl Pippa. Pippa needs surgery, it's the only option for this pretty girl. She had a rough start in life but at just 10 weeks she found her happy ever after with the help of a local rescue group. Here is her story:
Pippa will be 5 on October 1st. She's a former rescue dog. She came from a burned out house on a reserve with her brother and sister at 8 weeks. She was fostered by loving pawrents: Sheena and Hugo at 10 weeks, it was love at first sight and she's never left their loving arms.
Almost 1 year ago she hurt her back left leg but the muscles had healed. Just recently she started limping and was given medicine which seemed to help. Then 2 weeks ago she was playing in the yard with her foster puppy and she cried out in pain.
The pain was coming from her back right leg. She now requires TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) on that leg. With the left leg already being weak it too requires the same surgery. Due to her size this is the best option for her.
Her family has looked into surgery but it's insanely expensive. The best price they got was around $8000!
They are currently managing her pain by keeping her on pills.
Since her injury, Hugo has been sleeping on the couch with her every night. Sheena tried but was sent up to bed... due to Sheena’s recent surgery sleeping on the couch is not a good idea!
With the surgery cost so high and time pressing on they only want to ease her pain. The thought of putting her down is a nightmare for this family.
Their hearts are breaking and If Sheena and Hugo could do the surgery they would do it in a heartbeat!
Please remember that Pippa will only be 5 on October 1st. Other than the legs she is great. She's the most wonderful dog.
Pippa loves her family and her new foster puppy and they love her even more! Lets help them stay together for many happy years to come.
Please consider helping this loving family by covering at least some of the cost for Pippa's surgery!
