Star is a 5-year-old Pomeranian in St. Charles, MO, who needs $1,750 for Left Leg Plate Pin repair.

I got Star when she was 7 weeks old and she has become a therapy emotional support animal through my divorce. She loves meeting others and if your sad she puts her ears back to give everyone love. I am moving into my own apartment finally and she was sleeping on the couch but wanted to be near me moving things out to the truck. She jumped off the couch & broke her front leg (both bones).

Star LOVES to take walks with her best friend, a rescue neighbor dog Rosie first thing in the morning & every night. She loves when my children come over & snuggles their necks showering them with kisses. Star sleeps next to me every night and now in my arms with her leg so I can keep her safe. She loves to take rides in the Jeep with the doors off and LOVES to eat Moms eggs in the morning too.

Since she was 7 weeks old, she snuggles my neck & showers me with kisses. She can sense when anyone is sad or in danger whether she knows them or not. She will cry with you verbally & kiss you softly to show you she is there for you. I have spent some days in bed & she wont leave my side and worries about me if i get up to walk away.

A week ago she broke both bones in her left front leg. Upon the emergency visit, they splinted her and informed me that the surgery and after care bandages would be just under $5000. We waited this pat week with pain management & a splint with me carrying her everywhere. Her xrays today showed she is not healing and her bones are starting to misalign. She will need to have surgery

I am going through a divorce after 14 years of marriage. I have just had to put my first onths rent and a deposit down on an apartment that my son and I can live in. I had to apply for care credit to pay for the emergency visit & only was approved for 700. (cost was 617)
