Princess is a 2-year-old Tibetan Mastiff in Chantilly, VA, who needs $2,000 for Ligament Surgery.

Almost three years ago my life turned upside down. Difficult life circumstances and challenges caused me to joke with friends about getting a dog.. my friends would tell me to get a Tibetan Mastiff for my protection. The joke turned into reality when princess was in need of a home, all her siblings found a home and she was still waiting to find a family. The universe made the decision for us.

Princess is a goofy, loving, caring, and sometimes stubborn pup. She loves to protect her house and family no matter what it takes. She enjoys playing with other dogs, playing soccer, going on car rides, or snuggling with her family. She prefers her water with ice cubes, and her food needs to be fresh; otherwise, she would rather starve than eat.

Princess got her name before she moved to VA. Initially, I was planning on changing her name, but when she arrived, the name Princess started to make total sense. She is sassy and really set in her own ways. She doesn't trust strangers, but once she lets you in, you will have a loyal friend forever. She has many dog friends at the dog park, and she is known for her flips and rolls.

Princess tore a ligament in her knee and the only way for her to get better is to get surgery. She was seen at Pender veterinary and got an X-ray, which confirmed the ligament tear.

We had many life challenges lately including my own health issues, which already put us in a tight financial position.
Her accident was unexpected and is not covered by insurance. The expenses are high and we can’t delay the surgery to save up.
