Cardi is a 2 year old Cane Corso in valley center, KS, who needs $3,200 for ACL Surgery.

I am a 100% service disabled vet and served 15 years in the military. Two years ago I got my dog for my PTSD to get trained as a service dog. I got her as an 8 week old puppy and at 8 months she entered service training. She is nearly fully qualified at this time --just has a couple remaining tests to get through. I'm a single mom and I live with my 13 yr old son and "Cardi"--my son named her.

Cardi tore her ACL and requires surgery quickly to repair it and allow her minimal health impacts from the injury. I live on VA disability so any support would help me to ensure Cardi receives proper medical attention for this unexpected medical expense. She will receive the surgery from Dr Brandon at Spur Ridge Vet Hospital in Marion KS.

Cardi is extremely special b/c she provides support as a PTSD service animal for a veteran. However she is also a member of our small family. She loves my son like a sibling and we love her--she is the center of our home. She has really been impacted by this injury--she has lost mobility, not as active as a young dog should be, and she has pain from the injury b/c she holds her leg when she walks.

I live on a fixed VA disability income--to receive any assistance--this surgery is critical to get Cardi back to her healthy youthful self. I want so badly to do the right thing for her but I am financially constrained at this time. I would be so grateful for any help!!!
