Help My Sweet Pup Run Again - Surgery for Luxating Patella

My dog Milly is a joyful, loving one-year-old Havanese who loves to run, chase, and play with every dog she meets. She's my best friend, my emotional support, and the brightest part of every single day.

A few weeks ago we noticed she started limping after playtime. After several vet visits, we got the heartbreaking news that she has a luxating patella (dislocating kneecap) that's causing her pain and worsening with activity. The only long-term solution is surgery - and fast, before it gets worse.

The surgery is estimated at $6,800 - $8,800 and my insurance denied coverage because its considered a pre-existing condition. I've explored every possible financial option, but I truly can't afford this on my own.

Watching her sit out from playtime, or try to run and suddenly stop in pain, breaks my heart. She's just a baby - she deserves to run, jump, and live a full, happy life without pain.

I'm asking for help, with deep humility and gratitude, from anyone who can spare even a few dollars. Every single donation helps. If you can't donate, sharing this link would mean the world to me and Milly.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart - for reading, caring, and for helping my pup get back to chasing her friends at the dog park ❤️.
