So far we have received $717.00 in donations for Roxy's surgery, thank you so much everyone for your generous donations and for reposting this for Roxy, you do not know how much we appreciate it and I cannot say thank you enough!!!! I am so thankful that there are so many loving and caring people out there!!!!
Here is the update on Roxy:
Roxy and I just got back from seeing the orthopedic specialist on Monday 1/29 morning and she does in fact need surgery, she saw Dr. Wright at Gasow Veterinary Hospital, he has been a surgeon for 30 years and he is a very nice doctor, he even sat on the floor with Roxy and gave her a good scratching. The procedure he performs is called nylon prosthesis to repair ACL ruptures which is exactly what Roxy has. The surgery would cost about $2,000
I don't want to have to set up this fund, but I have never had to ask for donations before, but right now my finances are not so great and I can't afford to pay for this surgery on my own. I've explored other options to come up with the funds, but unfortunately, they did not work out to our advantage. Roxy will be 9 years old on April 15 and I never thought anything like this would ever happen to her. She has always been such a healthy girl, but just running down the stairs after a toy at home is what caused this. Right away I noticed her limping just after coming back up the stairs and could tell that she was feeling discomfort. I took Roxy to her vet and she spent the day there to have x-rays taken. When I picked Roxy up the doctor showed me the x-rays and where she had hurt her leg and also where the arthritis has settled in 
Dr. Hutchinson, her doctor, told me it looked as though she will require surgery and I was hoping and praying that she did not need it, but Tuesday the orthopedic specialist told me that she does need the surgery to correct the ACL rupture.
Roxy came into my life when I rescued her at 8 weeks from a backyard breeder known to fight his pitties. From that moment on I always promised her I would do anything for her. I could not live with myself if she spent the rest of her years not being able to walk correctly and in pain because of the injury she sustained and I would do anything in the world for my little Angel, I love her with all of my heart and she is my best friend in the world.
I am respectfully asking you to help me get my Roxy the surgery she needs to keep her healthy. Anything you can give, whether it's just a dollar or taking a minute to repost this for Roxy, is so very much appreciated.
Thank you everyone for keeping Roxy in your thoughts, it means a lot to me
