Dexter is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Land O Lakes, FL, who needs $2,000 for Torn ACL / Cruciate Ligament Surgery.

My sweet girl Dexter is a rescue, and I've had her since she was just a few weeks old. She recently turned 6 years old. Her name comes from a favorite TV show of the family, but she’s earned so many nicknames, the most common being “Mama” and “Girlfriend.” Though she’s the oldest of the three, with two brothers, she has more energy and love than any dog I’ve ever known.

We are seeking donations and financial assistance to help cover the cost of surgery for Dexter at Affordable Pet Hospital for her severely torn ACL in her right leg. This injury has caused her to limp, drag, hop, and be in constant discomfort. I’ve reached out to rescues and organizations, but unfortunately, no success in securing the help we need. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Dexter’s favorite toys are plush animals filled with stuffing. Her top activity is playing frisbee—she is a natural at it! She loves the outdoors, whether it’s walking, running, or playing, and she’s especially fond of splashing around in the hose water, though she absolutely hates shower time. It’s nearly impossible to get her to slow down; she’s always so happy and energetic.

Our finances are stretched thin, especially with caring for two other fur babies and managing bills. We’ve been setting aside whatever we can for Dexter’s surgery, but unfortunately, it’s not enough. This has been prolonging her pain and sadness, which breaks our hearts.
