Yoyo is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Belchertown, MA, who needs $2,000 for TPLO Repair Orthopedic Surgery.

We adopted Yoyo from Second Chance Animal Shelter in East Brookfield MA in 2017 when my oldest son Jake was 16. He wanted another dog after we lost Trixie, our original family pet who was with us for over 13 years. We searched for the right dog for many weeks and when we met Yoyo it was love at first sight! We thought the name suited her well and we kept it! She is so lovable and a bundle of joy!

Yoyo tries to keep up with her brother Dobby who we adopted from the same place. He is half her age and twice her size! Somehow one day when they were outside playing Yoyo blew out her ACL and requires orthopedic surgery to repair the back left leg function. She is still happy and frisky but can’t use her rear leg and is due for surgery in 3 weeks at Second Chance Hospital in North Brookfield MA.

Yoyo is the light of our lives and makes our home complete! I am a recently divorced mother of 3 teen and college aged boys. Yoyo and Dobby have been an unwavering source of joy and emotional support throughout a difficult 2 year separation and divorce that affected our whole family. Two of the boys are off to college and other family has moved out but Yoyo provides comfort and unconditional love.

With my recent divorce and two boys in college this year (one just graduated) the timing of this unexpected expense is a strain on my family finances. The kids all have their own jobs and are getting student loans to help out with college but this unexpected emergency hurts
