Help Cora Run Free

This is Cora. She is my beautiful, zany, loving furbaby who needs help. I know I may be biased, but I do truly believe she is the BEST DOG EVER!

I rescued Cora three years ago as a 9 week malnourished unwell pup and every single day since then she has thanked me with unconditional love and taught me that every day is one to be woken up to with joy.

However, the last month for Cora has been awful. She was outside doing her usual morning zoomies when she came inside lame on her back left leg.

I rushed her to the vet who, after x-rays etc, confirmed she has a ruptured cruciate ligament and needs urgent surgery to repair this.

I was in complete shock and felt when sick to my stomach as I knew that I simply could not afford the $2500 quoted for this operation and that my pet insurance does not cover this surgery.

I am extremely hesitant to ask for help as have always prided myself on being capable of overcoming any obstacle independently.

However, due to an accident late 2019, I am now awaiting my second back surgery in 6months, and in turn have lost my job.

To date I have spent $843 on xrays, anti inflammatories, joint supplements, + three weekly laser treatments to ease Cora's pain and give her some quality of life. Suffice to say I have exhausted any and all avenues with my small means to help my precious girl. All to have her in the same boat to begin with, unable to walk/run/play and still in pain.

I have now run out of money, so am asking for help as after 3 years of being such a good girl, Cora deserves me putting myself out there despite my reservations in doing so.
