If you recognise the dog in the photo, chances are your life and your own dogs life has changed after meeting Stella and her owner Sarah.

To those that don't know, the dog in the photo is Stella and as the fundraiser name states, she is in need of an ACL reconstruction. Stella was a rescue dog who now lives on a farm with her fur and live stock siblings. Throughout Stella's life, she has helped rehabilitate and retrain countless dogs and their owners, I guess with some help from Sarah her human. In doing so, Stella and Sarah have changed the lives of many, restoring hope and rebuilding relationships between humans and their dogs.

When Stella finishes the day, she spends her down time protecting the property and the livestock while also managing to sneak in a play with her fur siblings. At the end of the day she settles in for the night before doing it all again the next day! The work ethic in this dog is envious!

Unfortunately, Stella was recently diagnosed with a torn ACL which will require surgery to repair. So I thought I would put together this fundraiser to help contribute funds towards her surgery, or potentially pay for it in full! And if Stella gets the surgery before the fundraiser closes, because Sarah is very efficient, then hopefully the money raised can reimburse her and go back into helping keep the pair in the business of changing and saving lives.

So if you've fallen in love with Stella, enjoyed reading this story or just love dogs, please donate. Every little bit helps.

This is a tangible way to show our thanks for the never ending work Stella and Sarah do helping humans and doggos in need.
