Harper is a 2-year-old Lab Mix in Mills River, NC, who needs $2,000 for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy.

After four years of marriage without a companion, my husband and I decided it was time. Our little bundle of joy was born June 9th, 2019 as a result of her dad having a short sleepover at his grandmas. She immediately filled the void and what a fun 2 years it has been! We have enjoyed spoiling her like our own flesh and blood.

Harper LOVES to swim! She loves to be scratched and has perfected her pity party when you stop. She LOVES when her Ninny and Pap come visit. She LOVES her “little” brother (GSD/Mastiff) twice her size. She has such a sweet and loving soul. She clings to her mom. She is an amazing protector and knows exactly how to handle each situation that needs her protection.

Harper always knows what’s needed, weather it’s licking your tears away, snuggling after a long hard day or talking back in conversation. However, she needs the favor returned if she hears fireworks or thunder.
She is such a thankful dog, she will literally come and thank you with a kiss or a smile after doing any small task for her. She truly is our earthly angel!

Harper has partially torn her ACL which has steadily decreased her quality of life. Even with around the clock pain medication, the pain has prevented her from doing the things she loves and we want our two year old to feel like herself again! We found a wonderful surgeon - Dr. Crouch at Western Carolina Veterinary Surgery in Arden, NC to perform a TPLO to get our baby back to normal.

A recent medical diagnosis requiring many visits to the doctor and unexpected hospital visits, infusions, lab work, etc and an unfortunate chain of events due to the pandemic we stretched ourselves thin. Having Harper back to full function will continue to help us pull through!
