Stella has always been an active and loving companion, but over time, I noticed her struggling more and more with her mobility. What started as a slight limp gradually became much worse, and she was recently diagnosed with a torn ACL in her knee, along with severe arthritis. Watching Stella lose her ability to climb steps, jump, play, or even go on her favorite hikes has been heartbreaking. She’s now in constant pain and can barely walk, which has changed both of our lives dramatically.

After finally getting a diagnosis, the vet recommended surgery to repair Stella’s ACL. Her operation is scheduled for October 17th, and it’s our best hope to relieve her pain and help her regain her mobility. The funds raised will go directly toward the cost of her surgery, medications, and the recovery care she’ll need to heal and get back to enjoying life. Stella means the world to me, and I want to give her every chance to live pain-free and happy again. Any support will make a real difference in her journey to recovery.
