Freya is our 7-year-old Boxer who recently tore her ACL (or dog equivalent). She needs surgery so she can keep playing with her two little brothers (cattle dogs). She’s the sweetest girl ever, and I hate to see her limping around in pain. She can’t even hardly lay on her right side because of her leg.

We’ve both been putting in extra hours — I’ve been taking on additional shifts, and Matt’s been working overtime — to cover the cost of her surgery. Our goal is to get it done by early December to help relieve her pain and get her running again as soon as possible. The total cost is around $6,000, and we’re hoping to raise $2,000 minimum to help bridge the gap.
