Meet Chicky - My Sweet Tripod Warrior
In October 2024, what started as fostering quickly became a foster fail. Chicky, a beautiful three-legged pitty dog, captured my heart instantly and became my best friend. Our bond was immediate and unbreakable - we do almost everything together.
Despite being a tripod, Chicky lives life to the fullest. She's active, social, and absolutely loves her days at doggy daycare playing with her best friends. She's been working hard on training, and her progress makes me so proud. Chicky is the sweetest cuddle bug you'll ever meet - playful, loving, strong, and simply beautiful inside and out.
The Challenge We're Facing
Recently, Chicky tore her CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) in her remaining back leg. For a tripod dog, this injury is especially serious since she relies heavily on that leg for mobility and balance. Without surgery, she won't be able to run, play, or even walk comfortably.
The veterinary costs for this specialized surgery are extremely high, and despite my best efforts, I cannot cover the full amount on my own. Chicky deserves to get back to running on her three legs, playing with her daycare friends, and living the active, joyful life she loves.
How You Can Help
I'm humbly asking for your support to help get my girl back to her happy, playful self. Whether it's $1 or whatever you can spare, every single donation brings us closer to giving Chicky the surgery she needs.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading Chicky's story and for any support you can provide. It means the world to both of us. ❤️
