Sandy beagle torn ligament operation

Story

Hello I’m Sophia and I have three beagles sandy billy and ted. We adopted sandy three years ago from NCAR (north Clwyd animal rescue) as her owner was too poorly to look after her. She is nine years old in April and is a wonderful energetic and mischievous dog! She already has a skin allergy and is on daily medication and also needs medicated shampoo and lots of trips to the vets. This week she started limping and so I took her to the vets where she was given medication and pain relief. Unfortunately this has not got any better and they have now told me she has a torn ligament in her back right leg. She cannot put any weight on it and is needing to rest with no walks (very hard for sandy!). The only way to fix this is for an operation for £2500. At any other time in my life I would happily pay this - I’d take out a loan or credit card, anything to get her back to normal (I don’t have insurance due to issues with money as you’ll see in a minute). Unfortunately a year ago me and my partner split up leaving me with three beagles to look after. We also got ted and billy as a pair two years ago from NCAR as there human parents had split up. They are five and six in May and are very food orientated who love a good cuddle and aren’t so active as sandy! I never expected to be on my own with three dogs and the cost implications have been much worse than I could imagine. I am a nurse and work twelve hour shifts so rely heavily on Jenna from beagle towers and elena from Wirral and north wales beagle club to look after the three musketeers! I have been trying to sell my house since last July and also selling anything I can to get money to pay bills. I can’t loan any more from anyone or any banks etc and I’m in tens of thousands of debt. I have considered re homing the dogs for their sake and mine however I can’t lose them. They are my world and even when times are tough they keep me going. I can’t believe I’m having to do this but I’m just asking if anyone can donate any amount so I can try and pay for this operation. I can’t even pay in instalments as I’ve already asked. Please know that I have cut back on everything I can and I’m working as much overtime as possible on top of doing a masters degree. Thank you so much for your kind words and generosity love Sophia sandy billy and ted xxx
