Help Pepper Walk Again: Support Her Surgery
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out for help for my sweet dog, Pepper. She’s a 9-year-old bundle of love who has been my loyal companion through everything. Unfortunately, she recently tore her cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), and she needs Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery to walk comfortably again. A torn CCL which is similar to an ACL tear in humans, which causes pain, instability, and arthritis in the knee joint. So walking is very painful for her.
Right now, Pepper is struggling to get around, and it breaks my heart to see her in pain. The surgery will give her the best chance at a full recovery, but it’s a costly procedure with an estimation of around $5,000, and I can’t do it alone. That’s why I’m asking for your support—any amount, big or small, will make a difference in helping Pepper get back on her paws.
Every donation will go directly toward her surgery and post-op care. If you can’t donate, sharing this with others would mean the world to us. Thank you so much for your kindness and support!
With gratitude,
Ari and Pepper
