Taylor came to
us in an
emaciated state after
a good Samaritan
rescued her from
a local soccer
field. She had
so many fleas
they were
even crawling out of
her eyes. Even
after obviously
having suffered
some pretty
significant
neglect, she was
sweet and
affectionate.
In the 2 years that she has been with us, she has blossomed into a beautiful and lively dog who gets along with every person she meets. Taylor loves to play with her toys and run around the yard. She routinely shares her room with a variety of dogs, currently Henry, the Basset/Beagle mix.

Then our Taylor
has developed a
knee condition
that required
surgery.
Dog TPLOsurgery
is a technique
to quickly
repair a
ruptured
cruciate
ligament. The
job of the
cruciate
ligament is to
hold the femur
and tibia bones
in place.
If the ligament
ruptures, the
bones will slide
on each other,
causing
crippling pain.
If this sounds
expensive - it
is. She
recovered well
from the first
surgery on one
of her legs and we
are happy to
report that
Taylor has just
successfully
made it through
the second
surgery and is
recovering well.
Now we could use
some help
covering the
cost of these
surgeries to
ensure Taylor
does not have to
be in pain with
every step she
takes. Please consider
donating to the
"Taylor knee
surgery fund"
