Posie is a 4 month old Old English Bulldog in Indiana, PA, who needs $2,000 for MRI/Neurosurgery.

Posie was 1 of 7 puppies. The breeder passed away and they were now her daughters responsibility. We got my daughters deaf Boxer/Bulldog mix from the daughter. With so much going on in her life and 7 puppies, 1 with special needs, she reached out to see if I was willing to take her. Neither one of us wanted to see her put down. Without hesitation, we set off on a 5 hour drive to pick her up.

Posie has Spina Bifida.She has weakness in her back legs and is incontinent and uti prone. We took her to The Ohio State Veterinary Clinic. Her case is rare but there is a specialist who works there. Her nerves are attached to her skin through the gap in bones of her spine. The surgery would detach those nerves.The earlier the better so as growing doesn't pull and cause her condition to worsen.

She is the sweetest little soul. She tries to keep up with everyone and does a great job considering she walks on her back elbows instead of on her paws. Her legs will get tangled on each other because of their weakness. She is always happy and loves squeaky toys, especially her elephant "Maive". She falls asleep at night to puppy lullabies. She brings joy & kisses to everyone she meets.

I am a preschool teacher, I don't make alot,but love my job. I don't have the type of money her mri and surgery would cost. The vet said the sooner the better to have her best chance at a healthy life. I don't want to let her down just because I can't afford what she needs.
