Bowie and I had an emergency vet visit after I noticed he was struggling to put weight on his left hind leg. I learned shortly after that he tore his CCL (like the dog version of tearing your ACL) and will need surgery to repair it. Bowie has played a very big role in my life for the last seven years and it breaks my heart to see him in pain and struggling to move.

After speaking with several surgeons, I was overwhelmed by the cost of the procedure. I'm doing everything I can to explore financial options, including reaching out to assistance programs and using what income I have, but the expense is more than I can manage on my own right now. This situation comes at a time when I'm already trying to keep up with other financial responsibilities, making it even more challenging.

It was difficult for me to make this as I don’t typically reach out for assistance when I need it. For now, I'm humbly asking for any help you're able to give. Even sharing this with friends would mean so much. Thank you, truly, for any kindness, support, or generosity you can offer. It means more than you know to my family and to Bowie.
