Zoey is a 8-year-old Boarder Collie/Labrador mix in Silverdale, WA who needs $2,892 for leg surgery, for tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy.

Zoey was a rescue we got when she was 2 months old. She was raised around my 3 kids since they were little and has the best patience with them. She never nips, growls or snaps at anyone. She has most loving, down to earth personality. Although she is pushing 60 pounds she thinks she is a lap dog. She currently has 1 fur brother who is a puppy that she enjoys playing And snuggling with

Considering she is board collie and lab you’d assume she loves swimming and fetch.... however for Zoey she can’t catch a ball to save her life and nearly drown trying to swim. She enjoys long walks and hikes with her family. She is my best friend. She knows when I’m sad and will always come lay on me to cheer me up. My oldest child has issues with regulating emotions and she is always calms him

Under normal circumstances we have a savings account for emergencies, however due to the COVID19 I am out of a job & have been using our savings to pay bills & buy food. Zoey is worth every penny to make her pain free. It’s just hard picking surgery vs family bills & food

Zoey started limping 1 week ago. I assumed it was her age and her joints so I cut back on walks and let her rest. However yesterday she woke up unable to bear weight on her left back leg. I made an urgent care appointment at Ridgetop Animal Hospital. Xrays showed a significant tear to her CCL (ACL) with good amount of swelling. Jacob Fulcher, DVM recommended a procedure called TPLO

Zoey is one of the mellowest dogs I’ve ever met. She prefers sunbathing on the lawn while everyone plays. occasionally she gets crazy and runs so fast I think he back legs will pass her front legs. It’s quite a sight. Haha. Her favorite toy is a nylabone on her dog bed in the sun. If she was a human she would be someone in a rocker on the front porch just watching people and smiling.
