Furgi is a 1-year-old Pitbull Mix in Saint Petersburg, FL, who needs $2,000 for Ulna Ostectomy.

Furgi was surrendered a few months ago to the Humane Society before a major hurricane with a known wrist injury. Our family adopted her because of how much of a sweetheart and loving dog she is to our family. We took her to a specialist to find out she has severe elbow dysplasia and needs to have surgery. As a young family of 4, this costly surgery was unexpected. We are reaching out for help.

Furgi is wonderful with our two young children (ages 1 and 4). My 4 year old has such a special bond with Furgi. They sleep together, eat together, just about everything. Furgi also gets along with our cat that we had prior to adopting her. She is always excited and happy to see everyone who comes over. She loves running outside (for a short period of time because of the injury).

Furgi is special because she completed the missing piece of our heart we didn’t know we needed at the time. We had just lost our previous dog, Savana (who is a COPY PASTE of Furgi) unexpectedly a few days after the hurricane hit that destroyed Fort Myers. As we drove by this sheltered, we figured why not let’s just see what’s here. We took Furgi home for a sleepover and the rest is history.

We were told when adopting her she had a wrist injury. We didn’t know what happened, but it seemed like a little bit of a limp. After having her for a few months, it’s been getting progressively worse. We took her to a great specialist in the area who examined her with X-rays. She has severe elbow dysplasia that needs immediate attention.

Our home burned down 5 years ago and contractor hired stole $100,000 insurance money and didn’t complete the work. So we have been struggling financially for repair our house. Furgi is family so we need help to fix her issue so she can live pain free and happily.
