Sassy is a 8 year old Yorkshire Terrier in Catawissa, PA, who needs $3,000 for Arthrodesis.

Like all our dogs, we rescued her. We have had her for 3-4 years now. We used a rescue organization that pulled her from an abusive situation in a hoarding house. She came to us bald, malnourished, unstable, with explosive diarrhea diagnosed as stress colitis. She has recovered to a loving, healthy and playful girl who never barked a sound for over a year and is now a little vocal queen.

She injured herself (assuming jumped off bed wrong) on the 20th and we took her to the Limerick Vet Hospital as we were out of the area. Xrays were taken and we followed up with our primary a few days later. She was referred out for surgery due to a cartilage break (what the ACL connects to). They will unfortunately need to plate and graft the ankle to immobilize it for good....

She is the joy of our life. Sleeps with us every night. We cant imagine a world without her so young. She still has so much life in her and is trying desperately to run and play in her splint as if nothing is even happening. We want to restore her to as much of a normal life as possible which this surgery appears to be our only option.

We are over $1000 in already. Surgery is quoted at around $6500, plus ~$1000 continuing care post-op. We are in bankruptcy and cannot qualify for any care credit. We have Embrace Insurance! We only need help with the $3000 that will not be covered/refunded by Embrace.
