Help Piper Heal: Support Her Vet Care

Hello everyone!

This is Piper, she is a 2-year-old border collie. I responded to a KSL post about fostering a sheepdog on a farm who was unable to herd. I thought I had asked all the right questions, but when I pulled up to the farm she was in bad condition. The owners were not forthcoming at all about pipers physical condition. Once I saw her, I couldn't leave her there. She was an outside dog kept tied up in all conditions through all the seasons. There was no food or water bowl near her. Piper had extremely matted fur, as well as bald spots. Her skin is in rough shape from flea and tick bites, so she has some sores. She was dry, matted, balding, and had hot spots on her legs. After a few baths and a lot of love and patience, Piper is looking better. She has bonded with me quickly and is the sweetest, most loving dog ever. I know everyone says that about every dog ever, but I swear she has so much love to give. The problem is that I'm in over my head because I was not expecting this to happen. I'm a college student working part-time and cannot afford all her vet bills. Piper deserves the best care possible, I'm asking for donations so that way I can help support her. I'm hoping to get her healthy enough to stay with me, but I am also looking at other options because I want the best for her. Any donations will help me care for her needs. I would also appreciate insight on how to find her care/ forever home.
