Kia is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Garden Prairie, IL, who needs $2,000 for TPLO surgery.

In April of 2016 I went on craigslist in search of my forever buddy. We came across an ad and immediately went to see the puppies. Their living situation was terrible. The puppies were covered in feces and urine and jumping all over each other. But there was one puppy who sat in the back & observed the craziness. I believe I saved Kia and she's been with me since.

Kia has CCL disease and needs a double TPLO surgery. She is currently doing laser therapy treatment at Huntley Animal Care and is currently on pain medication to help take the edge off. Kia has been responding well with laser therapy.

Kia is my first pet, growing up I've always wanted a dog to call my own. When I brought kia home she knew she was here to stay. I started training immediately and she retained everything so well. When my wife had a miscarriage in 2020, kia went into my son's room and laid next to his crib. It was like she knew something was missing. Now kia is the best big sister and protector to our daughter.

Being the sole provider, it's tough to come up with 5k Kia loved running, chasing her ball, playing in the pool and running in the snow. It kills me to see kia not be able to do the things she's always enjoyed.
