Zoey is a 8-year-old Giant Schnauzer in Elbert, CO, who needs $1,100 for ACL Surgery/Banding/Anesthesia.

I work in a boarding\daycare for pets. My good friend \ co-worker found this craigslist Ad. I've always had Schnauzers but the mini's one. My last mini passed in a trauma on Mother's day weekend 6 yrs before this. We had just moved to acreage and were thinking of get another dog. We did get her, we were her 4th family, now her forever home too. She is my service dog

She is my service dog for my SI Joint dysfunction, she goes EVERWHERE with me. Watches over my kids and stays by our side. Sleeps right by my side of the bed. Since we have her doing service. it has allowed me to be able to go the the movies, zoo, museum and many things that I haven't been able to do in 12 yrs

She love the snow, likes running after the kids when they are on the sleds. Loves going on walks with the family and her 1000 lb best friend (Cherokee - horse. ) when she wants attention she puts her nose under your hand and flips it to he back or she will try to be cute and carry my belongs like med kit, hand towel, my keys, her snow jacket. she love engaging with the cats and laser light.

20 days ago she was climbing the stairs and let out a very loud yelp(she has only barked or vocalized 2 times when a stranger has come onto the property without consent.) she refused to put weight on the right rear leg. A local vet tested her knee and said ACL but doesn't do that surgery, The surgeon said the out come is excellent if she gets the surgery.

Husband lost job for 9 months, new job is $15,000 a year pay cut. Having been alternating paying bills cause we don't make enough to pay them all on a monthly basis. Growing medical bills, 4 mouths to feed, I've been trying my best to make ends meet by selling stuff/side work.
