Guppy is a 4-year-old Mixed breed in Rio, WI, who needs $2,000 for ACL repair.

A group of volunteers from Wisconsin travel to Alabama to rescue dogs from puppy mills, abusive homes and euthanasia. They foster them until families are able to adopt them. My sweet Guppy was brought here after her mother was pregnant in a puppy mill in Alabama. She was able to have a 2nd chance in life and I want her to be able to continue her wonderful life.

Guppy has been a God send during this pandemic. My elderly parents have been quarantined for months due to the pandemic and struggle with severe depression. Guppy has been their saving grace. She has been a support dog to help them get through this lonely period in their lives. They look forward to waking up to her happy and loving spirit. It keeps them going each day and gives them a reason to live

Guppy has made it so far in life after surviving a puppy mill in Alabama. She deserves to continue having a wonderful life. However, we do not have the means necessary and we can't begin to think of the alternative. The surgery will cost $4,200 and we have no way of paying this.

Guppy seemed to be experiencing some discomfort in her leg. I was hoping it was from the cold weather, but unfortunately that was not the case. She was diagnosed with a torn acl and told that it was an injury that would require surgery. This has put a great deal of stress on our family. With me being on disability and my parents quarantined, we don't know what to do. We feel helpless!

Guppy loves the outdoors. She loves to watch squirrels. She really likes hanging around the kitchen where my mother often cooks. It is like she can sense how my parents are feeling during this pandemic. She stays near them and tries to bring them comfort. I am so glad that she can bring some joy to them as they struggle with their sadness. She is truly a blessing!
