Gabby is a 3-year-old Boston Terrier in Plymouth, MN, who needs $1751 for screw tail amputation.

We got Gabby along with her sister Lola on Christmas day 2017. I only planned to get one puppy for the kids (when I say kids I mean 2 teens). Our older dog Sheba is 14 and she is going blind and deaf and we wanted not only another companion for her but one that we could continue to love long after Sheba passed away. Persuasive as my kids can be, we wound up with two puppies on christmas.

Gabby along with her siblings have the best life ever. I really mean that. They are not only our fur babies, but a part of the family. I don't think she has favorites of the household humans, she takes her days and goes and finds one that she wants to spend more time with and that is her goal. She is abundantly playful and loves to interact with everyone.

I unfortunately as well as all of our household have been laid off due to the pandemic. Financially, I can't afford it, but she needs it done. The infections are more frequent and she itches and bites at it. I cant continue the vet trips w/ no relief and peace for her.

We did not realize until after she was 1 1/2 or more that she had a screw/inverted tail. Her tail instead of growing outward, grew inward. Unfortunately we have been so the vet so many times to help with this, meds, wipes, cream, etc. The bills keep mounting & no relief for her has came from this. I spoke to Dr. Sven K. Kohlmyer and he suggests tail amputation.

She has the biggest heart of a dog I have ever seen. The love that exudes on her face when she snuggles or grabs your arm with her paw just shows she has so much love to give. She is goofy as all get out. She will find a ball and put it in her mouth and just squeeze on it. This causes her face to squish up and I swear it is the funniest thing we have ever seen. Its all about balls and squeaky toys
