Elly is a 7-year-old Beagle mix in Yukon, OK, who needs $1,287 for Anterior Cruciate Repair.

Elly joined our family from the OKC animal shelter. We picked her up at an event at a petco store. It was love at first site for my wife and I knew she would be my buddy for the rest of her life. Elly is a Beagle mix. One week after bringing her home she had parvo and we had her treated and she recovered, that was over 7 years ago. She is the protector for my 3 daughters and our home in Yukon OK.

Elly has a great life, from sleeping on my feet in our bed, to playing with her doggie sister, Ginger. She loves going to the dog park and running through the lake, chasing a Frisbee or a ball. She is very vocal when playing, but loves to be chased by my 3 year old in the backyard. She is so patient with our twin 1 year olds who love to love on Elly and get nose kisses. We love Elly!

We are a single income family with 3 children, one about to start school. Elly is in pain so we would like to do the responsible thing and get her some relief. We would like to take her on trips again, but can't afford this surgery without your help.

Elly has a limp in her back left leg, we attempted to treat it with rest and an anti-inflamitory, but it continued to plague her so she received a sedated imaging and has a torn ACL as well as arthritis forming in her knee. The vet recommends a TPLO surgery, but also has another surgery that is more affordable. She is being treated at Yukon Veterinarian Hospital by Dr James McQuade.

Elly loves to chase a Frisbee, or a ball, and chewing on a kong. Elly has a buddy, Ginger, who is a few years younger, but loves to play and chase each other. They also are great hunters, keeping the backyard clear of squirrels, rabbits, moles and any other creature. Elly loves her human sisters, Lacey 3, Ava and Maddisyn (1 1/2 years old twins). She loves to nuzzle your arm when she wants loving.
