Bronca is a 3-year-old Beagle Mix in Cumberland, RI, who needs $1,500 for ACL surgery (TPLO).

Bronca came to us when she was 6 weeks old. She came from and unhealthy living environment. Bronca now has 2 cat sisters (zoeigh & moonshine) a human sister kaitleyn and a human brother Timothy. My husband and I looked for a puppy because both of our children had gone through a very violent traumatic situation. We thought she would be the best thing to help them feel happiness and safe again!

Bronca is a sweetheart. Both of my children have PTSD, my daughter has a brittle bone disease and breaks very easily. Bronca knows to be careful with her. She loves to cuddle, and is an amazing emotional support to both of my kids. Her and zoeigh play like 2 puppies. Bronca will play hide and seek with zoeigh, once finding her she will pounce over her to say I FOUND YOU.

My husband is our sole provider working 50+ hours a week. Our daughter is disabled and there are a lot of bills accumulating. I'm a stay at home mom due to my daughters illness and covid. We just want our baby to be out of pain. To be able to go for walks and play!

Bronca was playing fetch in October 2020 with Kaitleyn. Bronca suddenly started limping back into the house. After a vet visit at VCA they recommended relaxation and some meds. After this had not been working we decided to take her to a specialist at VCA Weymouth, MA.

Bronca, isn’t a pet she is our family. My children have been through so much and I can’t break their hearts by having to give her up just because I can’t afford a surgery. It wouldn’t be fair to Bronca or us. We love her. She’s goofy, and loving, calm yet playful. She’s everything we could have asked for!
