One of our trick dogs has had to undergo another surgery on her poor knees 😬😔
Support Churro’s Recovery Journey! 50/50 Fundraiser
Churro really wants to run again, but her knees have been holding her back.
Many of you know our sweet girl’s story: we brought her home as a rescue pup from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in 2019, and she’s been the center of our world ever since. However, her journey up to now hasn’t been easy. Starting in July 2021, this brave girl has undergone 6 knee surgeries, including:
TPLO procedures on both back knees
TPLO plate removal on both back knees
Meniscus repairs on both back knees
The Great News: Churro had her most recent surgery on May 6th and came through like a total champ! She is resting and we are sending every positive vibration into the universe that this is the final hurdle in her long recovery journey.
How You Can Help: While Churro is a fighter, her vet bills have been equally "heavyweight." To help us manage the mounting costs of her specialized care and surgeries, we are hosting a 50/50 Fundraiser. Whether you choose to enter the 50/50, share this post, or simply send a "good girl" message to Churro, we are incredibly grateful.
The Goal: 50% of the total goes to help take the financial pressure off Churro’s medical bills, and 50% goes to one lucky winner!
