Bailey is a 6 month old Dachshund in Palm Bay, FL, who needs $2,000 for Orthopedic Surgery.

Meet Bailey. At just 8 weeks old, this tiny bundle of fluff bounded into my life, a whirlwind of puppy kisses and playful nips. Her coat, a swirl of creamy caramel and soft brown, was so reminiscent of Bailey's Irish Cream, it was the perfect name. From that moment on, she was my Bailey, my sweet, irreplaceable companion...my cutie petutie!

Our sweet Bailey, now six months old, is a dachshund bursting with puppy energy and a mischievous spirit. Sadly, her adventurous nature led to a devastating accident. In a moment of youthful exuberance, she slipped out the door and was tragically struck by a neighbor's truck. The impact was severe, causing multiple fractures to her right pelvis and leg and one break in her left leg.

Bailey has become a special part of our family - my sons and my daughter and my four grandchildren who love and adore her and just love babysitting her just to have her around. She gives you those puppy eyes and it just melts your heart and you just have to put her in your lap and hug and kiss her and she loves to give kisses and just snuggle up into your neck. She is adored by all who sees her.

This is a sudden major expense on my fixed income as an retiree. All the help and support and prayers that can be given are greatly appreciated so that my Bailey can come home with a quality of life.
