Cece is 6-year-old Portuguese water dog in Niantic, CT, who needs $2,000 for cruciate surgery.

My name is Cece. In 2012 My daddy flew me home from Michigan, From a breeder named Pat Hogan. He bought me for his pride and joy daughter who was 7 years old, as she loved puppies. Sadly, 1 day short of my 1st Birthday, Daddy had a health event while driving his vehicle which resulted in his death. His daughter lived with her mom and already had a dog and couldn't take me in. So, Grammy and Grampy took me in so I wouldn't be homeless. I am a good puppy, I do not bark, I do not chase cars or people, or misbehave in the house. However 2 weeks ago I was playing in the yard, and I fell down when I was running. I hurt my leg and could barely walk so Grammy and Grampy took me to the vet. The vet said I would probably need surgery but we would see if I could heal on my own. It has been a couple weeks and they still think I need surgery. Grammy and Grampy would suffer financial hardship if I do not get help. They have spent so much money over the years making sure I have been taken to the vet and to the spa for treatments. If you would be so kind to help me get "back on my feet" and contribute to my surgery it would be greatly appreciated.
