Help Cover Sydney’s Spay Surgery
Sydney is a stunning 5-year-old Australian Shepherd in Cincinnati, Ohio who’s looking for a fresh start—and she’s almost there.
Her human loves her deeply and has spent two years helping her work through challenges like reactivity and resource guarding. But due to changes in housing and household members, she no longer feels she can safely keep Sydney. Rather than surrendering her to an already over-capacity shelter, we’re working together to help Sydney transition safely into a new Aussie-experienced home.
But there’s one big barrier: Sydney is not yet spayed. As a gorgeous Aussie with some behavioral needs, she’s especially vulnerable—and rehoming her responsibly means making sure she’s spayed first.
- Her surgery is scheduled for next Thursday at Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital, her trusted vet.
- This clinic had the soonest available appointment, which is key given how time-sensitive her situation is.
- The full cost, including pain meds and recovery care, is about $400.
- All funds raised will go directly to the vet clinic to cover Sydney’s bill.
Once she’s fully recovered, Sydney will be looking for her forever home. She’s smart and so loving—she just needs the right person who understands her needs and is ready to continue the support her current guardian started.
Many of you were moved by her story and asked how to help. If you’re able to chip in, any amount will go a long way toward making sure Sydney lands in the safe, loving home she deserves.
Thank you so much for your compassion and support.
