Ruby's Medical Fund

Ruby is my 7 year old American Staffy Assistance dog. We have been together since she was just 6 weeks old. She has been assisting me with multiple chronic illnesses and has allowed me to be more independent.

Unfortunately Ruby has sustained a possible career ending injury, a tear to her ACL ligament while she was out chasing a ball in her off duty time.

Upon visiting a vet while on holidays, they found her knee injury and has prescribed her pain relief to make her comfortable for us to get her home to Melbourne. When we get home to Melbourne she needs to undergo sedated scans and examination, she will then need to undergo surgery OR at least months of rehabilitation/non surgical treatments and medication all of which to a disabled pensioner is extremely costly.

This will mean Ruby will be unable to work for those months while she recovers and possibly never be able to go back to work as an assistance dog. If this is the case, I will need to consider a prospect puppy to train up to replace Ruby's place along side me (although she will NEVER be replaced) as I am not yet ready or stable enough to take on the world without a furry side kick ❤️

Even if you can donate $1, that would be alot of help ❤️
