Zena is a 2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Wellington, CO, who needs $5,941 for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy.

Zena came to us as a 8 week puppy after we lost our oldest dog. We picked her out because she was the toughest of the litter, perfect for her hyper older brother Charlie. We named her after Xena the Warrior Princess because she is a tough little lady. We’ve had her 2 years now. They love playing in our big backyard, though our dog door is blocked right now so she can rest her injured knees.

Zena partially tore the CCL in both knees, with her left being worse. She was resting, but on July 3, she tried to play with her brother and began heavily limping, barely putting weight on her left leg. It breaks my heart because we used to play daily after work, and now she can't run or hardly walk. She is being treated by Tabby Road Animal Hospital in Wellington, CO, and needs knee surgery.

Zena is a tough cookie with the sweetest heart. Her absolute favorite thing is playing with her big brother Charlie in our backyard. She is a total lovebug who brings so much happiness to our family. She rules the house like a true warrior princess but melts whenever she gets a treat. The bond we share makes it so hard to see her sidelined right now while she waits for surgery.

We are still paying a loan for Charlie’s surgery. Now Zena needs both legs fixed. Living tight on bills makes another loan impossible. Having her healthy would mean absolute joy and immense emotional relief, we just want our happy girl pain-free and walikng/playing again!
