Kona is a 3-year-old Lab German shepherd mix in Fort collins, CO, who needs $2,000 for TPLO.

Kona lives a great life with a nice fenced in yard where she spends most of her time chasing squirrels and playing with her foster puppy friends. She has grown up with over 50+ foster pups who have all come and gone to find there forever homes all who got to learn a little from her. Kona ran off and chased a deer which is where we believe she managed to tear both ACLs.

Kona lives the life I would want to live if I were a dog. We bring her everywhere with us, she flys with us on planes, she gets to go on road trips to visit our families and almost never gets left behind. If she is left home she has her own dog door with access to the back yard and unlimited food and water as she is a good girl that is able to free feed.

Super unexpected to go in for surgery to get a call saying we need to schedule the second knee surgery as soon as she heals. All this coming right after we found out where pregnant with our first child. That is why we are looking for help with the second surgery

Kona has torn both of her ACLs. We went in for surgery this past Monday 8/3/20 where we anticipated the one leg surgery but were heart broken to find out it’s both knees and we have to come back in 8-12 weeks after she heals to do the other one. As she heals we will be having our first child and so we are reaching out in hopes of getting help on the second knee. Our vet is dr Eric Boehmer

Kona is my emotional support dog. I at times have panic attacks and we have found that Kona can tell when something is wrong and will actually come sit next to me and lay on my chest when it’s needed if I can’t seem to get out of it on my own. She also love to give funny smiles with her head titled.
