Help Velvet get Knee surgery to fix patella and FOH — San jose, CA

After 6 years of living with family, we finally moved into our own small apartment. Just 3 weeks later, we rescued our sweet girl at only 8 weeks old. She quickly became the missing piece of our family. She is loving, playful, goofy, and full of personality. She has brought our family endless love, laughter, and happiness. She truly is our baby and the best thing that ever happened to us.

At only 1 year old, our girl has severe hip degeneration and a severely rotated/luxating kneecap. Her vets believe the hip condition may be developmental or something she was born with. She needs an orthopedic specialist and may require major surgery, including a total hip replacement and kneecap surgery. She is currently receiving veterinary care as we seek the specialized treatment she needs.

She is more than our pet—she is our baby and a cherished part of our family. We only have one child, our 16-year-old daughter, and our girl has become her best companion. After waiting 6 years to have a home where we could welcome a dog, she filled our lives with love, laughter, and happiness. We cannot imagine our family without her.

The orthopedic care and surgery she needs are far beyond what we can afford alone. We are doing everything we can to help our baby, but we need our community’s support. Every donation or share brings us closer to giving her the treatment and pain free future she deserves.
