Achilles is a 6 year old Doberman Pinscher in Dandridge, TN, who needs $5,000 for ACL Surgery.

She's a rescue service dog, plus an emotional support animal for myself and my adult son who is permanently disabled with 22q chromosome disorder. She reminds us both to take our meds on time, she assists in guiding son if he gets confused, etc.

We adopted her 3 years ago and it is documented that she , as well as another dog, were thrown out of a 70mph vehicle and had to undergo surgery for injuries. She has a torn ACL now which is requiring surgery and we can not afford the estimated cost of $5,000... We only have $550 and surgery is scheduled for 11-10-2025 at Blackford hospital.

She's a service dog but also an emotional support animal for us both and has the sweetest temperament of any pet I've owned. She has abandonment issues and can tell was mistreated in the past.

I recently moved here with my adult son who is disabled with 22q chromosome disorder and have been denied disability for him 3 times. I am a senior citizen in a very low income and reaching out for assistance with Achilles veterinary care.
