Reesee's Surgery and Vet Bills Fund

Hello,  My name is Carrie, some of you know me as Zabi. I am raising money for my dogs surgery and help pay for her vet bills. My dogs name is Reesee. She is 5 years old. She is a mix of shih tzu and pitbull. She is very smart and sweet. She gets along very well with our cat. She is also very snuggly! We noticed that Reesee hasn't been putting weight on her back right leg and it's been getting worse as each week went by. We brought her into a vet and they didn't say much so we brought her into another vet for a 2nd opinion and they gave her x-rays. They found that she has torn ligaments behind her kneecap and it's now very swollen. They said it's unlikely for it to heal on it's own. My family and I struggle with money and are short each month already so we don't have money for Reesee's surgery. The money will be used mostly for the surgery and also her vet bills. We'd like to reach our goal by December since that is when she will be getting her surgery.  I've never thought I'd have to raise funds this way but my dog means so much to me and the only other option is to put her down. This would mean the world to me to raise this money so Reesee can be happy again and move around like she used to. She looks so depressed and I always tell her that I would do anything to help her. I would be very thankful for receiving this money for her surgery and would do anything I could to give back one day.
