Jubilee and her service dog Sydney have been an incredible team for the past eight years. Sydney, now ten years old, is ready to retire and enjoy life as a beloved therapy dog and couch potato. Sydney has made a life-changing difference for Jubilee, who was born with multiple birth defects and has undergone nearly a dozen surgeries to keep her spine stable. With Sydney by her side, Jubilee has been able to walk without a wheelchair and experience opportunities that many of us take for granted. As a through-knee amputee, Jubilee relies on her service dog not only for mobility but also for help with over twenty-five different tasks that are too difficult for her to do alone.

Service dogs like Sydney are highly trained and come at a significant cost. Jubilee has worked with Amazing Tails, LLC, an organization outside Philadelphia that expertly trained Sydney to meet her unique needs. Now, Amazing Tails is preparing Jubilee’s next companion—Sydney 2.0—to continue supporting her independence and dreams. Jubilee is currently a junior in college, preparing for law school, and her new service dog will help her pursue her goals and make a difference in the world.

Jubilee has always been inspired and thankful for how the community has rallied around her in times of need. She invites you to take this next step with her by supporting her in financing her new service dog. She knows that with the help of those around her, great things can happen. Any extra funds raised will go toward future vet care and a donation to another family working with Amazing Tails.
