Help Rosie get Knee Surgery — University Place, WA

My daughter and I adopted Rosie together from a Humane Society when she was 9 weeks old. Orginally being trained as my Psychiatric Service Dog, she is sweet, affectionate, energetic, and clever like a velociraptor.

It has been roughly 8 months since Rosie had injured her knee. She has been in pain that whole time, unable to receive the surgery she needs. There have been changes in her temperament as a result, including a rise in reactivity level and worsening of her OCD symptoms. She was last seen at Union Avenue Veterinary Hospital.

In spite of life's recent trials, Rosie remains the sweet, affectionate dog she was when we first brought her home. She's just been buried beneath pain and heightened anxiety, unable to engage in the sort of exercise, play, or training a dog like her should. She deserves the best chance of living her life to its fullest.

I am a disabled, displaced homemaker and mother in the middle of a traumatic divorce. Apart from SNAP/TANF and the pennies I make from DoorDashing by e-bike (I don't own a car), I have yet to gain a stable source of income of my own.
