Princess Peach is a 11-month-old German Shepard in Ellettsville , IN, who needs $4,350 for Full Hip Replacement.

Princess Peach came to me in January 2023, her owner said she was crying 24/7 and she just couldn't stand it and she had to go, so I did not hesitate to bring at the time this sweet 3-month-old puppy home with me. When I got her, she was covered in fleas and mange. I took her to the vet first thing the next morning. It took two months of medicines and vet trips, but she healed.

Due to Peachy's pain she does lay around a lot. She has two raised beds one inside and one outside. She likes laying in her bed on the deck. Even though she has her own bed, she sleeps anywhere she wants including my bed. She loves her brother Zen (my 1/2 German Shepard/ Pitty) They were both rescued on the same day just different years. She loves kisses on the forehead, belly rubs and scratches.

Peachy taught me how to play fetch. She will lay down and use her mouth to throw the ball and I will get it and then toss it up in the air and she will catch it while laying down. When she is sleeping, she will hold my hand in her mouth as a comfort to her.

I noticed that Peachy started walking funny and crying every time she stood up. After a trip to the vet, it was confirmed that she has hip dysplasia and needs a full hip replacement, her right hip socket is completely gone. Purdue Small Animal Hospital will be doing the surgery in November. Her surgery is $25,000-$36,000, but she is worth every penny.

I did take a loan out, but it was not enough for the surgery, and having the loan payment will cause a financial burden, but Peachy is very worth it. I just want to see her live a pain free life. I don't want my lack of income to stop her from getting the surgery she needs.
