Maggie Mae is a 6 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback in Waukesha, WI, who needs $10,000 for Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy.

Maggie is our sweet 6-year-old rescue who’s been part of the family since she was just 10 weeks old. From the start, she’s had a gentle soul and a protective streak. Though her walks have become less frequent while she awaits surgery for CCL repair on both legs.

Maggie’s mobility has taken a hit, she can no longer go on walks or run like she used to, due to a torn CCL. She’s scheduled for a TPLO procedure with Dr. Kevin Kroner at Care Surgery Center, a trusted specialist in orthopedic veterinary care. The surgery is essential to restore her quality of life, but it comes with a steep price tag—around $10,000. I simply can't afford it on a fixed income.

Despite her current limitations, Maggie’s spirit remains strong. She still watches over the cats like a furry guardian and finds joy in quiet moments. Thunderstorms, though, reveal her softer side—she’ll curl up close, trembling until the skies calm. Snow has always been her playground, and we hope she’ll be bounding through it again someday. Maggie isn’t just a dog; she’s our companion.
