Sheba is a 9 year old German Shepherd Dog in Mt Pleasant, TX, who needs $2,000 for Spinal Cord Decompression and Stabilization.

We rescued Sheba. She was found wandering on a busy street corner, 6 weeks old. We rescued her, intending to rehome her, but fell in love with her. 9 years later, we still have her. She is the smartest, funniest, most caring, most protective, most loving, most beautiful dog I've ever had. She loves everyone who loves her, and has the most gentle disposition.

Sheba needs back surgery, scheduled for 4/24. She injured herself jumping on our bed, has a spinal injury affecting her back legs, bowel and bladder function. Surgery will be at Texas A&M Small Animal Hospital. She is already losing leg strength, losing bowel bladder function/control, and her condition will progressively get worse and worse without the surgery.

Sheba loves to play, her favorite is the water hose. She is terrified of thunder and fireworks. She sleeps with her feet straight up in the air. She loves her family, happiest when everyone is home. She is so smart, likes to have conversations, talking back to you, but snorting at you if you don't do what she wants. She laughs when you laugh, cuddles you when you cry or are scared.

Her injury came right behind my husband having a severe cardiac scare with 3-vessel open heart surgery, then losing his job, our savings now completely gone. It breaks our heart to see her so sad when she has issues or have pain. We are praying desperately for help.
