Katie is a 8-year-old English Labrador in Santa Paula, CA, who needs $1,500 for CCL Repair .

Katie was a gift to me and my family from my late grandmother Brenda. She flew on a plane from Colorado to come into our family when she was just 7 weeks old! I believe she was the runt in the littler and was one of the few left out of her brothers and sisters. We are so lucky to have her. She is a blessing to our family.

My brother has Austism and Katie has been a huge emotional support for him. She is his best friend. She is the sweetest dog we have every encountered and never gets violent or aggressive towards anybody. She is getting older but still has the temperament of a puppy. As our last gift from our grandmother she holds a special place in our heart.

My Single mother was in a car accident about 2 years ago and broke her ribs, had a collapsed lung, and tore her ACL. She was going to go back to work, but everything stopped because of covid and now we can’t pay for our dogs surgery.

We had our house foreclosed upon 2 years ago, so we have been living with my grandfather. His backyard is a mess and has a lot of levels to it. So Katie broke her hind leg jumping off one of the walls about a year ago. We have yet to accumulate the funds for her surgery. We fear that she has broken her other leg. Her surgeon is at Horizon Veterinary Specialist in Ventura .

Katie is a sassy dog. She will give you the “look” and turn your back on you if you do something she doesn’t like. She will talk to you or grunt if she’s feeling up to it. She likes to play with her stuffed rocket popsicle toy and sometimes she’ll get really excited and run in circles and looks like she’s on a sugar high!
