Ollie is a 10-year-old Beagle/Harrier in Denver, CO, who needs $2,000 for Acupuncture/Laser Therapy.

I've had Ollie since she was 9 weeks old, a friend of mine posted a picture of beagle puppies and I had to have her. She is 10 going on 11 but she still acts like a puppy. Other than her back legs not working she still gets excited for food, treats and bones. She still loves to go sit outside, which we do every morning. She's still a very happy dog given her circumstances.

Ollie loves love, she loves when people walk by and pet her. She's always been like that. She's loves interacting with other dogs. She's really smart and independent. If she could she would take herself out to go potty. She refuses to go potty in the house even if it's an emergency and I'm at work all day. She loves to cuddle and just be a dog.

Ollie has probably over 100 stuffed animals, dog toys, from over the years. She liked jumping towards her toy box to pull out all over her toys,she's loves getting new collars, her Mom tells her she looks so pretty so she gets excited for new collars. She's an escape artist, when she was younger she would get out of the fence no matter what. She loves rolling around in the grass.

Ollie was diagnosed with intervertebral disc disease almost 2 years ago. We noticed her legs were getting really wobbly and she was having a hard time walking. Last summer she still had some use of her back legs but one of her paws kept knuckling, then it became both.She still has feeling throughout her legs but not paws. The vet says acupuncture sessions could help her regain her ability to walk.

Ollie is my best friend and still has a lot of life in her. I don't make much money , just enough to make sure she is fed, can get check ups and has a home. I can't afford her surgery which is $6000 so acupuncture is the next best thing which is $118 a session.
