Lexi is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Salt Rock, WV, who needs $2,000 for Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) Surgery.

My partner saved Lexi from an animal rescue shelter in 2019. She was an anxious dog at first but became very attached to my partner. I started seeing my partner in 2022 and I fell in love with Lexi instantly. We have a decently sized backyard for her to run around in and she gets constant attention from us. She even sleeps in bed with us almost every night.

Lexi has had issues with back leg pain ever since I’ve been with my partner, but she was still able to get around easily. Recently she hurt herself badly while playing, and when we took her to the Hurricane Animal Hospital in Teays Valley, WV they said her CCLs in both of her back knees were completely torn, and the only good solution is surgery on one if not both her back legs.

Lexi is the sweetest dog in the world to everyone. She’ll let you pet her all day if you want. There’s not a mean bone in her body. She constantly wants to be up against you or even in your lap. She has 3 cat sisters that she loves to cuddle and play with. Even now when it’s hard for her to walk she always wants to greet me when I come home and will follow me around the house with a big smile.

We don’t make a lot of money, it’s difficult for us to cover vet visits but we make do. The consulting alone for the surgery is $500+, and it’s $3,000 for each leg. Lexi still has puppy energy despite her injuries and isn’t ready to leave us yet. We can’t lose her over money
