Bonnie is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Santa Barbara, CA, who needs $6,019 for Medial Patellar Luxation, Bilateral.

We adopted Bonnie a few months ago when she was just a perfectly healthy, happy,and energetic puppy. She is a Chihuahua and jack Russel mix and definitely acts like it. She's so energetic and loves playing outside in our yard. Due to a series of unfortunate moves that drained our emergency fund, we haven't been able to pay for Bonnies surgery to let her live her life to the fullest.

In the past 3 months however, we noticed Bonnie not using her back legs as much. She now walks around and stands in this old crouched position. When we brought her to our vet, and got a series or X-rays, we realized she has luxating patella in both of her hind legs which is a genetic condition that if we let it progress can make it so she can't use her hind legs

We originally got Bonnie to be trained as an anxiety dog. But as time progressed we now like to say we sure the anxiety. She is the sweetest little dog who follows me around the house all day long begging to be cuddled and played with. She's a fiercely loyal dog who will bark at any man she doesn't know if they walk into our property. most importantly, she's a bundle of energy who loves to play.

We had some sudden moves unfortunately that completely drained our emergency fund, and as a single parent middle class family, we don't have the money to pay for Bonnie's surgery. however, with this surgery Bonnie will be able to gain full function of her hind legs.
