Lilo is a 5-month-old Frenchie in Grand Rapids, MI, who needs $2,000 for Surgical Pinning.

My daughter and I received Lilo as a gift at the end of August. My daughter has always wanted a puppy, and she was beyond excited when we finally got one. French bulldogs have always been a breed that I love, so the first time seeing Lilo, she just melted my heart. Growing up, my family loved all animals. We consider our dogs family, and we have unconditional love for them.

We haven’t had Lilo for vary long, but I don’t want to remember what it was like before her. I do everything with her. She sleeps in my bed, she goes to work with me, we go shopping together, she likes short walks, but we take them frequently. I haven’t left her alone since I got her. She loves playing tug of war, and fetch with my daughter and I. She’s gets along with all dogs.

Lilo Ioves playing with our families dogs. My mom has a yorki, my brother has an American bulldog, and she’s played with my friends standard poodle. It’s funny to watch her play with the American bulldog, and poodle because they are so much bigger than her. But she stands her ground. Lilo is the sweetest dog ever, but she’s definitely protective over us. She likes to see where we are at all times.

Lilo had a zoomy on 12-11-23, she slid on the hard floor with both paws in front of her, and crashed into the front of the oven. She ended up breaking her arm in the growth plate. They have to place screws, and possibly a plate in her arm. One hospital is in town, but they want $6-7000, the one out of town wants $3900. I have both scheduled, but I haven’t decided where to go yet.

I’m a single mom, & I own a small cleaning business. My daughter & I have birthdays this month on top of Christmas, and now planning a surgery for Lilo. We just want her better.
