Katie is a 7-year-old Pomeranian in Venice, FL, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.

Katie is a seven-year-old Pomeranian in Miami, FL that needs urgent surgery. Poor Katie sat in the animal shelter, injured and in pain, hoping someone would help her. "The shelter labeled her as hurt; you could tell something was wrong with her back leg. It was very obvious," Rena M., from True and Faithful Rescue Mission tells Waggle.

The beautiful, fluffy dog caught the rescue's eye and stole their hearts. "Any dogs that have injuries are looked over by adopters because they often need extra medical care. She needed someone to help her. We needed to be a voice for the voiceless," Rena says.

Can you help Katie get back on her feet and into a new loving home once she's healed up?

Katie is expected to make a full recovery once she's fixed up and will eventually be up for adoption in the Washington DC, VA, and MD areas. "She will be great when she is more spry," Rena says. "I can't wait to see her personality develop once she's out of pain."

So the group sprang Katie from the shelter and rushed her over to Davie Veterinary Clinic. The medical team took X-rays that revealed Katie has a broken hip -- they also found she has terrible teeth. Now the nonprofit rescue needs to raise the money for this adorable girl to have hip, dental, and spay surgery. "She is such a sweet soul," Rena adds. "You get a sense of thankfulness from her."
