Cookie is a 4-month-old Pomapoo in New Haven, CT, who needs $1,900 for knee surgery.

Hello my name is Jennifer. My puppy’s name is Cookie. She is 4 months old and she was a gift from my husband to my 12 year old daughter. We named her Cookie because of her color. My daughter always wanted a puppy but she’s allergic to animals and finally we found Cookie. She doesn’t shed and my daughter is able to play with her without having an allergic reaction.

Cookie was what we needed to complete our little family. She is very playful, fluffy and lovable and we love her so, so much. When one of us is having a bad day, she always make our day better just by her cute little face. I never thought I would love an animal this much! She’s my daughter and I would do anything for her.

She is very smart. Every time my husband gets home she hears his car and she runs to the door. Every time we get home she loves jumping on us to play and to give us kisses, to show us how much she misses us. Her favorite toy is Scooby-Doo. She sleeps with and takes it everywhere she goes. She is too funny.

Cookie was so excited to see my daughter last Saturday. She jumped on my daughter and she slipped from my daughter's hand and she fell on the ground and broke her leg and now she needs surgery. My poor baby girl is so upset. It's going to cost $5,600 which is very expensive. And we need help. My baby girl is too small to be going through this.

At the moment we can’t afford it and my puppy needs to get surgery by next week and I am asking please if anyone can help I will really appreciate it. Anything helps. My puppy is just 4 months old. She deserves a good life. We miss her running around and playing with our kids.
