Almendra is a 4 month old Yorkshire Terrier in Thornton, CO, who needs $2,000 for FHO Surgery & Pelvis Fracture Surgery.

Almendra (Almond) came into our family a month and a half ago. One of our neighbors rescued her from a home where was not being taken care of properly. My dad immediately gravitated to her play-full personality and agreed to take her in. We introduced her to our 9-year-old Dachshund mix, Cici. Slowly but surely they began to enjoy each other's company.

Almendra escaped from our backyard & was ran over. A neighbor informed us she was hiding under a van, shaking from the pain & fear. She dragged the back half of the body over to me. My heart sank to my stomach. With 4 fractures to her pelvis & 1 fracture to her right femur. A very kind & willing orthopedics doctor at Planned Pethood International has offered his services.

Almendra is full of energy, love, and so much life left to live. Fetching is her passion! Regardless of her previous living situation she is not afraid to step out of her shell, gives unconditional love, & has learned to trust again. In such a small amount of time, and very unexpectedly, she brightens our lives. She loves to cuddle and fall asleep on our laps.

Her entering our lives was unexpected. We want to give her the best quality of life. She will need 2 surgeries, medications, follow-up visits, time, and love to heal properly. Financially we were not prepared for any of this.
