Carter is our gentle giant, a puppy who has brought so much joy and love to our family and everyone she meets. Recently, while playing, Carter suffered a devastating injury—her shin bone was shattered in three places. The only options we have are a specialty surgery or amputation, but she's far too young to lose her leg. We want to give her the best chance to heal and live a full, happy life.

Our family is facing financial challenges right now. I have been going to school full-time, and my wife has been on maternity leave with our baby. Covering the cost of Carter's surgery is more than we can manage, but we can't imagine our lives without her goofy, loving presence. She is the best family dog, always ready to share hugs and bring smiles to everyone around her.

The funds raised will help us pay for Carter's surgery, giving her the opportunity to recover and keep her leg. We would be so grateful for any support to help Carter continue being her sweet, loyal self. Thank you for considering a donation to help our puppy—your kindness means the world to us and to Carter.
