Klara is a 13-year-old Black Russian Terrier in Norwood, PA, who needs $1,450 for V-plasty.

Klara came into our lives when she was 4 years old, as a rescue from a breeder. The breeder said she was not like her other dogs- Klara identifies more like a human and really prefers to spend time with people. She is a quiet lady who just wants to be wherever her human family is at the time. She also has two adopted sisters to keep her company.

Klara's favorite thing in the world is to go for a ride in the car! She could be in a deep sleep but the sound of keys makes her come alive. She jumps and spins around and barks- she can hardly contain herself! It is a joy to watch the great pleasure and happiness she gets from even the shortest road trip.

Klara's best gift is her intuition. She can easily sense the energy of those around her. If there is a stressful situation in her human family, especially her dog mom, she has a way of herding you to the sofa, and once you are seated, she immediately hops onto your lap and lays her head on your chest. She provides such a sense of love and calm- it works every time!

Klara has a large tumor on the inner lining of her bottom eyelid. The tumor has gotten so big, so quickly, and while it is not yet causing her to lose her vision, it is definitely painful and uncomfortable. The great news is that Klara's condition is treatable! Her expressive eyes are saying -help! After searching high and low, I was able to find a specialist to treat her.

We are fully committed to caring for our three rescues. Unfortunately, the recent medical needs of our other geriatric girl have used up all of our resources- and now we are struggling to take care of Klara's tumor. We love her so much and would be grateful for any help.
