Juneau is a beloved member of our family.  She was out playing fetch on Saturday June 4th and she pulled up limp and in pain.  We cared for her over the weekend by ensuring she wasn't alone and in too much suffering.  The vet visit today didn't give us the best news, but with surgery she can be back to herself.  Our dog is a best friend to our 8 year old and 2 year old kids and she is an important part of our family.  She is a bernese newfie and loves the water and rounding up the kids and keeping them safe at all times.  This incident has left us with a desire to bring our dog back to full health, but the cost of the surgery is high.  The overall vet bill will be over $4000 when taking into consideration the physical, medication, x-rays, surgery, and post-op follow ups.

Our family is hoping to find the generosity from donors to help us get our dog back to health.  We would normally have the funding to take care of our dog, but the recent hit in the Alberta economy has left one of our household earners with limited income during the past 18 months.  We would be so very grateful to those that can help and will ensure we pay your generosity forward in the future.
