Zeppelin is a 4-year-old Husky in Wheat Ridge, CO, who needs $3,400 for TPLO.

Zeppelin was a literal Christmas miracle! My husband and I had been living in Colorado for a about a year when we went to Texas to visit our families for Christmas. She was found by a cousin who tried to find her family for weeks but was going to take her to a shelter the next day. It took just one look for us to realize that she would have a happier life in Colorado as our girl!

She is sweet and kind but most of all adventurous! It is amazing to watch her play with her cranky old schnauzer and with our toddler! Before her injury she was one of the best hiking Buddies a family could ask for! She is tolerant of all the crazy things our toddler does to her, including making her wear necklaces... Because she is a princess. Her personality is very spunky and loving.

This was a very unexpected. We have a enough in savings to cover the cost of one leg. But the vet recommended that we get both procedures at once which has to be paid up front. We can hold off and save but she is in alot of day to day pain so we really can't put it off.

Zeppelin has not just one but two torn ACLs. It came as a sudden and total shock to us because nothing specific caused the injury. One day she cried and limped a little bit in her walk but then seemed like nothing was wrong. Over the next week we noticed that she would favor it. We took her into the vet thinking it was arthritis and learned instead that she may have had a genetic disposition.

Zeppelin will literally tell you all about it! She talks anytime she feels like she needs attention and sometimes just to talk to the toddler. Her blue eyes make people melt and her sweet playful nature make you never want to stop petting her. On the trails or walking the sidewalk she is always interested in finding a new animal or human to play with!
