Millie is a 1.5 year old Bullmastiff in Peotone, IL, who needs $9,100 for TPLO- Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy.

We rescued Millie from the shelter when she was 12 weeks old. She is playful and full of spunk, and is the sweetest girl anyone could ever meet. She is my daughter's world, and having this surgery on both of her legs would help her be able to be a dog again. She can't run or play without limping and being in pain.

Millie has 2 torn crucial ligaments, one in each leg. This requires TPLO surgery. We traveled to an orthopedic vet 100 miles away, Sportvet in Savoy, Illinois to get the full diagnosis after seeing her regular vet. Without this surgery, she is only allowed to go outside on a leash with minimal running. The higher the activity level, the higher the pain and limping for her.

Millie's playful and is the most loving dog we have ever had. She loves to play, but now she can't. She loves to tear up all polishes that she gets her jaws on, and there's not a shoe that survives in this house. I want to be able to give her a normal life. One that she could actually run around the yard and play for as long as her heart desires.

TPLO surgeries cost $4550 per leg. She needs both done. I don't have that kind of money to spare with a daughter in college. I hope to have the surgeries done soon, even if it means going into debt, but any help that I could get would be immensely appreciated.
