Roxxy is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Wilmington, NC, who needs $2,000 for Amputation.

We've had Roxxy since she was about 7 weeks old, and she is now 1 year old. She has never left our sight since then and she means the world to myself and our family.

Roxxy escaped from the house on January 16th and was hit by a car. After taking her to the emergency vet (Eastern Carolina Veterinary Referral), we learned that her right hindlimb was broken. The veterinarian recommended either surgery or amputation to address the break.

She is our only household pet and she means everything to us. She's an emotional support dog for our son. She loves her mom and dad and to play ball. She knows we're coming home before we even get there.

Unexpected, major expense with no emergency fund. The veterinarian estimated about $7,000 for surgery and about $2,000 for amputation, so we are opting for amputation because of the lower cost, and surgery is not guaranteed to be 100% effective.
