Hope is a 7 month old Mix-Breed in Silver bay, MN, who needs $2,000 for Surgical Shunt Placement.

Hope was a rescue and was found in a remote area in Northern Minnesota. She was approximately 5 weeks old at the time and is the runt of 11 puppies 9 of which are still living. She stayed with the family who had found her but they felt they didn't have adequate time to spend with her so they posted on fb she was available to a good home. I saw her and fell in love.

Hope has hydrocephalus a neurological condition that requires a surgical shunt to be placed. Without surgery she may only have 5 months with surgery she has a good prognosis of a healthy life up to 10 years.

Hope is a sweet snuggly puppy who struggles with her vision she Likes to play with her 2 cat companions (that she thinks are puppies) and her 14 yr old boy she loves other dogs but seems timid with loud noises and things she isnt familiar with. she is a little different than most dogs because of her condition but she doesnt have a mean bone in her body favorite food is oatmeal we call it hopemeal.

Last year was a tough year for Tristan and I. His father's house burnt down a week before Christmas. I lost my fiancé (Tristans step dad) and I'm trying to stay caught up with bills but the adjustment has been hard and after loosing my dog ziggy after 16 years. I need HOPE!
