Phoenix is a 1-year-old Border Hus-corgi in Canton, GA, who needs $1,500 for Bone Biopsy, Patellar Surgery.

When I first saw "Phoebe" on PetFinder, I fell in love. She was found as a hairless stray puppy limping along the streets in rural TX. Despite all the obstacles she's faced, her positive spirit has always shone through. Her resilience has changed my entire perspective on life. Now known as Phoenix (or Fifi/Fi), she lives with my family and her two feline brothers in her comfortable furever home.

Fifi has become the keystone of our family, bringing joy and laughter to our home every day. She is incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle up with her humans at night. She is especially great with children, showing unmatched patience and gentleness. Fifi's playfulness and enthusiasm are infectious, and we can't help but feel happy when we're around her.

Fifi is special in so many ways. Despite her difficult start in life, she has an unwavering spirit and brings so much love to our lives. She may lack boundaries (and doesn't quite understand personal space), but we wouldn't have it any other way. Her tongue is always out, giving her an adorable and goofy appearance that always makes us smile. Whenever anyone is feeling down, Fifi has an answer.

Although Fi has quickly adapted to her ever-changing situation (hobbling with confidence!), we see her condition worsening by the day. She has gone from pouncing on her kitty-bros to now struggling to stand. She'd already undergone expensive surgeries prior to her adoption, but unfortunately, it is now worsening. Since meeting our doctor, we are positive she can cure Fi's ailments for good.

I love Fifi more than anything. Seeing her in this much pain destroys me. I've been between jobs since being in a motorcycle accident last year, and I just found my pet insurance refuses to cover any of Fifi's recovery. I know she needs this, and I feel completely helpless.
