Support Darla's Urgent Hip Surgery

Donation protected

Hi everyone! I am reaching out to ask a huge favor on behalf of my dog Darla. Darla is my two-year-old Golden Doodle puppy, and she’s truly the light of my life. I adopted her from the Kalamazoo SPCA shelter, and she is truly the best dog I could ever ask for.

Upon adopting her, she was dangerously underweight and was in serious need of medical help. She is finally gaining weight again, which is so exciting! However, after visiting three vets, I found out that she needs immediate surgery for a femoral head and neck resection.

Darla struggles with this hip issue every day, causing her constant pain and difficulty walking. She struggles to sleep comfortably, and needs help even just to sit on the couch. Once full of energy, she now limps and struggles to play.

The team at the Kalamazoo Humane Society recommends surgery to restore her mobility and quality of life. Without it, her condition will worsen and could lead to a complete loss of her ability to use her leg. I want to give her the chance to run and play pain-free again.

Darla needs this surgery, but as a college student with a part-time income, I’m struggling to afford the cost. I am very anxious about all this, and I'm really not sure what to do. The cost is very unexpected, and I don't know if I can help her without your support. It breaks my heart to see her in pain, and I just want her to be healthy again. Being able to get her the treatment she needs would mean everything to me.

She is full of love and energy. Darla's always ready to, cuddle on the couch, or greet me with excitement when I come home. She has a special bond with me. Her playful personality and the way she makes everyone smile is what makes her so special to me, and I can’t imagine my life without her.

Thank you so much to everyone who can help me save Darla's life!! I am truly so appreciative of any support you can provide!!
