Our Sadie is a beautiful 9 year old Beagle mix. We adopted her, as we have our other two Beagles and two cats. She is very sweet and gentle, and recently developed a limp. We took her to our veterinarian expecting arthritis, but found out she has a torn ACL and needs surgery ASAP. My husband and I said immediately "schedule it" and nearly fell over when we were told it was $2500 IN ADVANCE. We simply don't have that much money lying around and the vet will not allow us to make payments. They want the money up front. We tried other vets and all have the same policy. The surgeon is an expert in the field and Sadie has a great prognosis for a full recovery, but the money is a huge roadblock. We are working hard to scrape together enough to pay the $850 for her initial consultation with the veterinary surgeon, but need help with the balance urgently.
I volunteer with two animal rescue groups, and my husband helps me with fundraising for many homeless pets. I never dreamed we'd be trying to raise money for our own pet family, but with the economy as it is, we have no choice. We are pleading for help with our baby girl. She is so uncomfortable, and while the pain meds provide some relief, long-term use creates a multitude of other problems, including liver damage and death. Please help us save our Sadie. She is a wonderful friend and an important member of our family. We sincerely appreciate any donation.
