Waffle is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Aliso viejo, CA, who needs $2,000 for Pruritus Bilateral Lateral Patellar Luxation.

My sweet 1 year old Maltipoo named Waffle is in urgent need of complicated double knee surgery, and I'm reaching out to ask for your help. When Waffle was purchased, unfortunately, they did not disclose that she has a genetic condition called patellar luxation in both of her hind legs.

Waffle was just diagnosed by the vet today, May 3rd, and the prognosis is serious. If Waffle doesn't get this surgery soon, she will be in increasing pain and her knees will continue to deteriorate, leading to permanent damage. The vet estimates the total cost of the surgery to be around $18,000 to $20,000, which is far more than I can afford on my limited budget, not including future costs.

Waffle is my very first pet, and I absolutely adore her. She's the cutest, sweetest dog and brings so much joy to everyone who meets her. I don't want to lose her or have her suffer, but I just can't cover these massive medical bills on my own. I'm reaching out in the hopes that kind-hearted animal lovers like you will chip in to help get Waffle the care she desperately needs.

Any amount you can contribute would make a huge difference and would be so deeply appreciated. Waffle is counting on us to get her the treatment she requires to live a happy, healthy life without pain. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
