May is a 11 month old Australian Shepherd in Belgrade, MT, who needs $2,000 for Water Treadmill/Acupuncture/General Vet Care.

We adopted our sweet May on August 11th; she was found on a reservation in Montana as a stray on July 23rd where after she was transported to a foster home/animal shelter. We do not know who her owners were, and the vet believed her to be about 6 months old. As soon as we met her we fell in love, and brought her home to foster to adopt as soon as she was spade and now lives with her pawrents.

On October 14th, May was in a freak accident; she was running with her mom, in a residential park, off leash and stopped to play with a dog. She ran at full speed to play and hit a barbed fence. Upon impact, she bruised her spine (T10-13) and fractured her vertebrea, becoming paralyzed. She was stabilized in the Emergency center at Bridger Vet Specialists, and now receives PT at 360 Pet Medical.

We knew May was a love the moment we met her; she walked right up to us and cuddled. After a few days of settling into our home she became a part of our family. She loves being close to us, and will whine if she can't be apart of the fun. May always gives kisses and cuddles, and will paw at you as soon as you stop petting her. Even with the grief of her accident she makes us laugh everyday.

Due to her accident occurring during pet insurance grace period, her emergency spinal stabilizing surgery was not covered. The insurance company deemed this to be a pre-existing condition, so every cost of her recovery has been out of our own pockets. We want her to heal!
