Lilith is a 3-year-old Rottweiler in Swanton , OH, who needs $2,000 for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy.

Lilith was a wedding gift from a fiancé that never made it down the aisle. Lilith has been with me coming up on 4 yrs. now. She is my world. I am a disabled veteran that didn't qualify for a service dog, but Lilith has had some training to help me with some of my harder tasks. She does a great job at detecting my migraines and helping through anxiety attacks.

Lilith has full run of the house. She is the boss, and she knows it. When my boyfriend's child stays with us, she sleeps in-between our bedroom doors. She always wants to be with me but seems to have a need to watch out for the 9yr. old boy. When he has a rough night, I always find her in bed with him when I get up. They have bonded exceptionally well in a short time. They love to play fetch.

Lilith has never been a vocal girl. Since my boyfriend started coming over, she has a little bit of jealousy. He walks in the door to kiss me hello. When he goes to kiss me, she starts talking to him, whining, and she talks back when he teases her about it. Occasionally she will climb into my lap and put her head on mine so he cannot kiss me. Instead, she kisses him.

Last weekend we had the boyfriends 9yr. old. They were playing fetch in the yard. Lily yelped and hasn't put her foot down since. The boy feels horrible thinking that he hurt her even though we explained to him it wasn't his fault, things just happen sometimes. We went to West Suburban Animal Hospital and were told she damaged her cruciate ligament. They gave us an estimate of $3320.68.

I was hit hard by fraud last yr. and haven't fully recovered. I also just paid for an eye removal for my 14yr old Pit mix. I just started catching up on my payments and have no savings left. It would mean the world to my family to have Lily healthy and pain free again.
