Pixie is a 9 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi in Happy Valley, OR, who needs $2,422 for Leg Amputation.

We rescued Pixie from a breader that was going to put Pixie down since she was born with a heart murmur. Our goal was never to have a show dog and couldn't bare to think about putting a dog down just because of that, so at 8 weeks, we welcomed her into our home. She has always been the loving little mom of the house.

About a year ago, we noticed a small mass was growing on Pixie's front right leg. She would bite at it and make it bleed every where but the mass would go down a little bit. Over the past year, the mass has gotten a lot larger and an infection was noted to where it is now showing sores on the front of her leg and in her armpit. We took her into the Community Veterinary Hospital locally here.

Even though Pixie might be in pain, she is still in good spirits. Most days she barely puts that much weight on her right paw, but still moves around. Still the leader of the pact. Loves playing with the grandkids and the others dogs and cats.

My job situation changed last year to where my position was eliminated I was switched to a different role and am commission only to where I am allowed unemployment. That only covers the bills so much. She was our first pet and it would not be the same without her.
