Rosie is a 1-year-old Great Dane Mastiff in Berthoud, CO, who needs $2,000 for TPLO surgery x2.

We adopted Rosie from a local rescue. We had a great dane previously and missed having a big dog in our life. She is 1.5 yrs old and has alot of life left. She has an older little sister in Daisy our 3 yr old Morkie. She loves to sit in what we call her attention chair which is the couch and she sits like a human with her head over the back looking at you with the most adoring face.

Rosie talks alot. Not barking so much but she sounds like a cross between Scooby Doo and Chewbaca. She has multiple beds all over the house and enjoys the furniture as well. She is very calm and peaceful. She let's everyone touch her. She greets all of my students with love and affection. She has the best disposition and has never been aggressive. She loves everyone.

Rosie loves toys. She especially loves to play tug and fetch. She loves to say hello to all the dogs walking by with their owners. Everything about Rosie makes her special.

Rosie needs TPLO surgery on both back legs. Due to her size we can only do 1 at a time. So she is scheduled Jan 31st for the 1st one and the 2nd will be 10 weeks later. Both surgeries are $6000. Original quotes from many vets I checked with were $11,000. I was happy to find one that can do it for $6000. Twin Peaks Veterinary Clinic in Loveland, CO.

We are a military family. My husband has had trouble finding work since he retired as his career didn't transfer well. He is in treatment for PSTD and has not been working for last year. We just don't make enough to pay for this huge expense.
