About this campaign

Josie, who was adopted by my parents as a puppy and has become a cherished part of my life. Although she lives with them, I visit her frequently, and her face lights up with pure joy whenever she sees me.

Josie is our 18-month-old Pomeranian who’s currently undergoing surgery for a luxated patella (consistent knee dislocation) The surgery involves a specialist cutting a deeper groove for her knee cap to rest in so it won’t dislocate anymore. Orchard Veterinarian Care has deemed this a severe condition that requires immediate attention, but it comes with a hefty price tag of $3,500.

Josie is always excited when I come visit and usually leaps for joy and would get the zoomies prior to her knee problem. We will be caring for Josie when she goes for her surgery on September 9th and during her rehabilitation for 8 weeks.

This is an unexpected and significant expense. We didn’t anticipate this situation, and it’s even more so because we’ll need to travel over two hours to get Josie to a specialist. Consequently, we’ll need to book a hotel so we can stay nearby.
