Josie is a 13 year old Dachshund in Summerville, SC, who needs $2,000 for Spinal MIR.

At just six months old, Josie came into my life after her first family did not want her any more.
Since becoming a member of my family, she has had served as a therapy dog for five and half years, has been on my grand adventures with us as we have RVed across America (has been in 40 different states and traveled over 40,000 miles), and recently took on the role of big sister.

Over the past week, Josie has gone from the happy playful dog that she is to a dog who is unable to move on her own. She has been admitted to the pet hospital for an MIR and possible surgery to correct the problem.

Josie is more than a pet to our family. She is a member of the family and a travel partner.
When she is home, she cuddles up beside you and loves on you unconditionally. She is able to know when you are having a bad day or when you are sick and gives extra snuggles at those times.

My wife and I are both school teachers and out son, who just turned one, is in daycare while we are working.
With our limited income we are able to make it, but the unexpected vet bills from an ER visit, an MIR and possible surgery has used up all of our extra resources.
