Mercedes is a 6-month-old Boxer/Heeler Mix in Aurora, CO, who needs $700 for Femoral head osteotomy .

Mercedes is a rescue from New Mexico I adopted her from the Colorado puppy rescue which is an amazing puppy rescue. Mercedes is 6 months old and is added to a family of five children. So technically she's the baby because my youngest is 1 years old. Mercedes is full of life. She likes to share toys and food with the baby their besties.

Mercedes loves to play fetch to love taking walks with me and the baby and the kids. She's an outdoorsy dog and very smart. She can sit in the yard with no leash and she knows the difference between baby and play. Her favorite thing to do is sleep of course. But she loves all of her toys and the babies.

Unfortunately I'm the only one working in the house right now I'm a mom of 5. Covid hit my hours were reduced extremely for March through May. This was so unexpected and unfortunately I'm drowning in bills right now. She needs surgery I refuse to amputate she deserves this!

Unfortunately back in April of 2020 Mercedes was hit by a car while eating snow on the curb in front of our house. The car slid and hit her right in front of our house on the sidewalk. We brought her into the Red Rocks Vet Clinic and they said that she was fine and would recover but had a small fracture upper hip. But unfortunately when we brought her back he stated that she would now need surgery

Mercedes is so special because she's very calm mannered and aware of her surroundings. She doesn't bark or make noise unless she's sleeping and chasing something in her dreams. She has a very calm Spirit to her, and seems to follow the babies directions when it comes to pulling toilet paper around the house or finding a makeup sponge to eat. Then walking away and leaving the baby to take the blame
