Squirt is a 2 Year Old Mix-Breed in Coralville, IA, Who Needs $5,000 for Knee Surgery.

Squirt was born 2 years ago. My friends dog had puppies, I was given the opportunity to adopt one. Squirt was the runt out of the litter, she was born without a sac. My friend asked me if I want to choose another, absolutely not, she's a fighter. She's not bigger than the rest of the litter! She's my ace, she lives with me, sleeps with me, and never lets me go anywhere that's not within eyesight.

Squirt was playing at a friend's house and slipped on the wooden steps leading into the den and dislocated her kneecap. She needs surgery, she's in pain every day. It breaks my heart. She's been on doggie ibuprofen for the inflammation and pain.

Squirt loves to talk... Especially at 3am. She's quirky,highly intelligent, and has human like eyes. She will be a puppy forever. She's kind, clingy, and loves other animals. Only dog I know that will walk up to cats and try and play. She's scared of mean dogs. She's a lover.

It would mean the world to me to get her out of pain. She needs this surgery badly, my poor baby can't go on walks, limps everywhere and still greets me with a smile every day. The surgery is $5000. I really need some help, I can't afford it.
