Frida is a 3 year old Mix-Breed in Landover, MD, who needs $2,000 for Right TPLO +/- Internal Brace.

We adopted Frida, a smart and active puppy. She helped us foster over 30 pups in the course of a year, including Sadie, our second dog. Frida is our marathoner with an endless amount of energy, while Sadie is our sprinter preferring to sit and keep an eye on everyone. Both are doggy daycare bosses! Frida has a closer bond with our 18 month son. They play ball together and cuddle before nap time.

Frida completely tore her ACL and needs surgery. Apparently, in dogs the ACL tears from a disease that breaks down the ligament so dogs that tear one knee will usually tear the other knee within the next 1-3 years. Frida will be having TPLO surgery to reconstruct the bones in her right knee to more closely resemble the human knee so that she will not need the ACL

Frida makes me believe the saying that your previous dog sends you your next one. Frida is everything I ever wanted in a dog. She goes everywhere with us: river tubing, running and swimming in the creek, or playing in the waves on the beach. She is always right by my side whether we are out or at home, and she literally tries to smother me with her love. And she is so patient with my son.

When it rains, it pours. We usually have savings to account for any pet emergencies, but I am between jobs. Frida's surgery will cost between $6100 - $7357. She can't go to daycare or run and do zoomies at home. She is putting more strain on her one good knee.
