Athena is a 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Waterford Township, MI, who needs $3,400 for TPLO Surgery.

Athena is a sweet 4 year old girl. 2 years ago she came into our life. She was our daughter's ex-boyfriends dog. He was going to have her live in his car with him, before he allowed us to take care of her for him. Prior to him, she was found in the crate on the side of a road. She is very active and loves running around the yard. She is happy living with her 2 dog siblings and 2 cat siblings.

While outside running, she came back in limping. We took her to our vet and after X-rays it was determined that she had tore her acl on her left leg and determined that her right leg was bad as well. One consultation stated that she needs TPLO surgery and was quoted $5000 a leg. Wilson's veterinary hospital quoted us $3400 a leg, pending evaluation.

She is very active and loves to do parkour off of our privacy fence. It was determined that it wasn't the cause of her issues, just exacerbated it. She has her favorite pull toys that she loves to play with. She will cuddle with one her cat sisters and chase and play with the other one

We have an adult son with Autism that we are the sole providers for. We also have 2 other rescues dogs that have required extensive treatment that have depleted our credit. We took Athena on because no one else would, and we just need a little help.
