Xyla is a 5-month-old German Shepherd in Raleigh, NC, who needs $150 for Spay.

My boyfriend and I got Xyla a few months ago when she was in a rough situation. We live in an apartment and I just found out I’m pregnant and having a hard time with funding for xylas spay. She is a very sweet girl but very shy around new people. She knows basic commands and is very smart. Xyla is five months old and water obsessed

Xyla is still a puppy so she sleeps in her crate, she does very well in her crate. She is currently teething and lost a tooth the other day so she is whining because her teeth hurt but is given plenty of chew toys throughout the day and soft treats. She is crazy about water, she would drink a whole pool if I would let her. She picks up on commands very well and is still working on potty training.

When I come home she gets out of the crate to go potty and she pounces out of crate because she can’t contain her excitement. She loves to shake but will try to do both paws at a time and ends up falling most of the time because she isn’t good at balancing. She loves to spin, that is her favorite trick but she goes very slow because she is clumsy.

Xyla needs to get spayed, and I know you are going then spay her. I’ve been trying to come up with the funds myself but I can’t. I’m trying to get her spayed before she goes into heat to prevent risk of infections and to lower the risk of cancer. I do not know which vet I am taking her to to get spayed, my vet is expensive so trying to find better options but still safe for her.

I recently moved to Raleigh to help me get a job but haven’t been able to find one, I just found out I’m pregnant and trying to keep baby healthy as well as Xyla. My boyfriend is deployed and isn’t making enough to help (he is paying our bills)
