Help with Ori's TPLO Surgery
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Corrine, and I am asking for help to fund a TPLO surgery for my beloved dog, Ori.
Ori is truly my best buddy, he is a four year old Beagle/Hound/Doberman mixed breed (mix those together and you get a lab, apparently), and things haven't always been easy for him. He's a rescue, I adopted him when he was still very young, he and his litter mates were found on the side of a road, and he's always struggled with anxiety towards people and new things. Ori has come a long way with dealing with those anxieties, and he has gone on so many journeys with me, he has been a consistent hiking companion and friend.
These past couple of months, he has had a chronic limp from a torn CCL in his knee, and after three months of rest, anti inflammatory meds, and still no improvements, I have had multiple veterinarians tell me that it's time to do the TPLO surgery as soon as possible, or he will continue to set himself up with a lifetime of struggle just to walk. I want him to be able to continue going on adventures and living his life the way a dog deserves. I have hated to see him no longer be able to enjoy simple walks and outside time, and he is still so young with plenty of years ahead of him.
The vet told me that the TPLO surgery will cost me anywhere between 4,000-5,000 dollars, and I am committed to give Ori the best care for him to live as long and happy a life as he can, though that is a lot of money for me. If you have anything you'd be willing to donate, I can't express just how grateful I will be to you. Any donations of any amount would be so, so deeply appreciated.
