Elsie is a 8 year old Mix-Breed in Treasure Island, FL, who needs $4,500 for TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy).

Elsie is our baby — a tiny rescue and the smallest of 14 puppies. From the moment I brought her home, she became my comfort through some of the hardest years of my life, including a painful divorce. For the past five years, she has been loved and cared for by both me and my partner; she is truly the heart of our little family.
Elsie has already overcome multiple surgeries shortly after birth.

Elsie has a painful CCL tear, the dog equivalent of an ACL tear, causing instability and severe discomfort. Surgery is the only way to restore her mobility. She will be treated by Dr. Mayne, owner of Wildflower Animal Surgery, in partnership with Baycrest Animal Hospital, where her procedure will take place.

Elsie is our baby — gentle, loving, and deeply bonded to both me and my partner for the past five years. She comforted me through a painful divorce and brings joy to everyone she meets. She’s playful, sweet, and always by our side. Her spirit lifts our home, and she means everything to our little family.

After losing my business and home stability from two hurricanes, we’ve been rebuilding while living in our RV. We simply can’t afford her surgery alone. Having Elsie healthy again would mean the world — she’s our heart, and giving her a pain‑free life is all we want.
