Roxy is a 3-year-old Rottweiler in Monroe who needs $1,500 for ACL Surgery.

My son and I got our girl Roxy 3 years ago. I decided to get a dog to help my son with some of his emotional and behavioral needs. It was instantaneous bond between Roxy and my son. We also have our fluffy cat king. Roxy and King are best buddies. I’m a single Mother working hard to give my son and fur babies the best life possible.

Roxy is a big 110lb baby!! She sleeps with me in the bed every night. She is such an affectionate dog. She and I would always go on an evening jog after I get home from work each evening. Roxy love to play soccer every evening in our yard and is excellent at blocking the ball lol. The hardest thing now that she tore her ACL is that her activity has to be limited.

My Roxy is special and puts a smile on my face when she’s snuggling with me on the bed. Roxy loves to have someone pet her or just have the touch of you on her. I could be petting Roxy for 20 minutes and she has fell asleep snoring, but as soon as I take my hand off of her she pops up and will take her head and almost make me start petting her again. I can’t resist those big brown eyes!

Roxy has to have ACL surgery on her right hind leg. She has been on pain medication and mild sedatives to help with her pain and try to limit her natural high energy level.

I’m a single Mom just making end meet every month. I try to work extra hours whenever the opportunity comes up at my job. Unfortunately I didn’t have a large amount of savings. I had to use most of my savings to get the procedure done to find out why she was limping.
