Willow is a 5 year old Border Collie in New Smyrna Beach, FL, who needs $2,000 for TPLO Surgery.

Willow is a mixed-breed dog I adopted at eight weeks old during the COVID-19 quarantine. She’s been raised in a loving home with me (a single mom), my two children, our family cat, and our late bloodhound, Harper. Willow lives indoors, is house-trained, and well-socialized. She recently injured her foot and is currently limping. We’re doing our best tomorrow keep her comfortable.

I took her to Ravenwood Veterinary Clinic, where she received a full exam and X-rays. The vet confirmed that she has a soft tissue injury and possible ligament damage. Thankfully, there were no fractures, but the injury is painful and will require careful rest, follow-up care, and possibly further treatment depending on her recovery progress. They have recommended TPLO surgery.

Willow means the world to our family. She’s more than a pet—she’s a constant presence of comfort and love, especially during the hard times. She completes us, protects us and her favorite thing in the world is snuggles and playing with her toys

As a single mom supporting two children, I do everything I can to make sure our basic needs are met. Like many families, we’ve been hit hard by rising costs, and unexpected expenses—especially veterinary care—are difficult to manage.
