Hello, my name is Ezra Arriaga and I am asking for your assistance to help get my dog the surgery she needs to be able to walk again. Winter is more than just a companion; she is my best friend. She came into my life right at the perfect moment when life was tough and has always brought a smile to my face. She was always so energetic and full of life. Last month, she was diagnosed with IVDD, which is Intervertebral Disc Disease. We have tried everything: rest, multiple vet visits, medications, and steroid shots. We tried our hardest to keep from having surgery, but unfortunately, her condition has progressed, and surgery is our only option. I am asking for any donation possible to help Winter get the surgery she needs. I am a full-time college student and football athlete; I am working as much as my schedule allows, and my mother is helping as much as she can. I am pleading with you, if you find it in your heart to donate, ANY amount would be appreciated, even if it is just $1.

We received the quote today for her surgery, and it is roughly $5,000, not including any rehabilitation, as posted in the pictures.

Please help save my dog.
