Arctos's Surgery

Meet our dog Arctos.  Arctos is about 8 years old and is a German Shepard. She retired from the Naples Police Department March 4,2019 after working 3 years as a duel purpose K9. Since then she has been with us as one of our pets and fur baby. 
Arctos was just diagnosed with Autoimmune Mediated Polyarthritis. IMPA attacks the healthy tissue. This has attacked her front wrists. Unfortunately there is no cure for this. The only thing that can help is surgery to fuse and plate her wrists. This would allow her to walk properly. The surgery has to be done in SLC by a specialist and is approximately $10,000. 
I know a lot of people will read this and think she is just a dog and why spend that kind on money on a dog. Well because to us she is not just a dog. She is a fur baby and a family member. If you know me or my family you know that we are avid animal lovers and care very much for them. 
Im not just asking but begging for any help that can be given. She is such a great dog. 
 Her local vet is Dr Mathis at Ashley Valley Vet. Please feel free to call and confirm her info. 
Anything will help. 
Thank you for your help and support. 
If I am unable to raise the money for her I will return it or donate it to a charity.
