Sigrid is a 4-year-old Great Dane in Loudon, TN, who needs $2,000 for Elbow Fracture Surgery.

We brought Sigrid into our home in 2018 when her previous family became unable to keep her. She was just 6 months old then. She has lived with us ever since, growing up alongside our kids and going on countless adventures with us. She enjoys warm weather, chasing skunks, her big bed, and cuddling anyone and everyone that comes to our home.

Sigrid is very protective of everyone in our house. She can frequently be heard making her rounds to each of our rooms several times throughout the night to make sure that we are all safe and snug. Like many Great Danes, she thinks she is a lap dog and would gladly crawl onto your lap and cuddle if you would let her. She is extremely patient and gentle with our two kids and loves to play with them

Sigrid is a very laid back dog. She isn't very vocal or excitable, but she does get very anxious when we have her away from the house or in big groups of people. These situations make her bury herself as close to you as possible. She's not a big fan of toys, but she loves treats! She will eat anything that isn't a vegetable.

On 1/20, Sigrid was hit by a car in front of our house. There were workers on the road and we suspect that she was trying to check them out as she never goes into or close to the road. The impact left her with a shattered front elbow that can't be helped with a cast or splint. We are scheduling surgery to fix it.

For such an uncommon break in a dog, we have been quoted anywhere from $4-7,000 for her surgery. This is a huge financial burden that we are not prepared for, but are trying to make happen to keep a part of our family with us and healthy.
