Service Dog Needs Second ACL Surgery

This little girl is a special one. Not only is she an ambassador for the American Pitbull breed but she is loved by so many in the community.

If you have ever been to a home game at the Spokane Chiefs hockey games you more than likely know this bundle of love. She's loves going to hockey and gets excited when we pull out her neckerchief that all the boys have signed. She gets to visit the boys after a games or when they are out in the community. We went down to welcome the Spokane Chief's home from an away game.

Below is the reason for this go fund me.

So, back on 3/9/25 Daisy was outside playing and then hurt herself. Found out she tore her ACL. I took out money from my 401k and drained all other sources to pay for her first surgery.

For her first surgery I had to drive her to Missoula, Montana, to have surgery at Sentinel Veterinary Specialist and Emergency. They are the best. They took exceptional care of my girl.

Well yesterday Easter evening Daisy jumped up on to my bed to go to sleep and she cried out in pain.

So, today I took her to the vet this morning as I just had a feeling in my stomach that wasn't good.

The vet sedated her and took xrays and then called and told me it's her ACL of her good knee was torn and that she will need surgery again but on her other knee.

We have to wait till she 8 weeks post op before we can do surgery on her right knee. So she is being treated with pain management until she can have her 2nd surgery.

I'm updating this Go Fund me as I'm in more need now as I've exhausted all my sources. I have 4 weeks to come up with the money for her surgery.

I'm trying to get as much of the money together as I can but I know I'm going to need some help.

Between her 8 week post op appointment/xrays they need to make sure the bone is healed from her first surgery and then the cost of her second surgery plus follow up appointments/xrays. Her surgery it's self was 5k.

Today's (4/21/25) vet appointment cost $800 because they had to sedate her in order to get xrays to confirm the diagnosis from the physical exam, plus medications to keep her comfortable till her next surgery the end of May.
