Beasley is a 4-year-old American bulldog mix in Thornton, CO, who needs $2,000 for TPLO surgery.

In 2015 we were not looking for a dog. A co worker found an ad for Beasley and thought she was cute- so she showed my husband! Something about her face made us go meet her. Within 5 minutes it was apparent that the family “selling” her was also abusing her. She was a Christmas puppy that wasn’t working out (who expects an 11 year old to potty train a puppy??!!). We took her home that day.

Beasley loves her family! She and her pit bull sister bonded almost immediately. She is still scared of strangers due to her past but has made great strides. Due to this we were unsure how she would act when we brought home our baby the first time. Any concerns vanished. She and the baby are best friends and she does anything to make him laugh! She’s the heart of our home.

Last year our son was born prematurely at 30 weeks. We were unprepared. His hospital stay was almost 3 months long and left us with a huge looming bill, maxed out care credits and tons of medical debt. Beasley has helped our son to grow, communicate and learn to walk.

Beasley tore her ACL in the beginning of the Covid pandemic. The surgeon was not performing surgeries so we were forced to wait. While waiting, she tore the other ACL due to pressure she was putting on her other leg. For preventative care we use Banfield Orchards in Westminster, CO. They diagnosed both ACL. Her surgery will be at Red Rocks Animal Center in Lakewood, CO.

Beasley will let our son chase her in his walker- just to make him laugh. Every night she sleeps between my husband and I (under the covers and on the pillows no less). Sometimes she snores so loud I mistake it for my husband! When she gets excited and runs around her jowls flap around and she gets crazy zoomies! She is truly the happiest dog.
