Willow is a 2 month old Labrador Retriever in Whittier, NC, who needs $2,000 for Broken Femur Surgery.

Willow is our 9-week-old silver Labrador retriever! Willow is full of energy and a total joy to have around. She has a playful spirit, often seen chomping on leaves or romping around with our two cats and our German shepherd. We live on 40 acres in the great smoky mountains, and hope to train her to be a search and rescue dog.

Willow recently fell out of a window of a truck, and broke her femur. She will need surgery to get back on her feet again. We took her to MedVet in Asheville NC for her initial exam and X-rays, and they have quoted us 4,000-5,000 for the surgery.

We often refer to her as our "little otter" since she likes to walk around dragging her back legs behind her. Oh, and not to forget that her coloring and tail looks just like an otter! She just adores our German shepherd and two cats, and hopefully we can trust her around our chickens pretty soon.

We just got married this past September (2024) and that was already more expensive than we had hoped, even though it was a small get together with just our families. We are trying to get a new house built, and weren't expecting to have to add a $6,000 expense to our future.
