**We need your help to help Gwen raise $5k for her surgery and post-op care!**

At only 2 months old, tiny Gwen was surrendered to a local shelter due to a broken left front leg. FARM gladly took her into care to give her the best shot at a healthy life, and provide the medical care she would need before finding her new home.

Sadly, the break had already "healed" incorrectly, freezing her joint and preventing her little leg from straightening. This caused Gwen to walk hunched over, which would lead to long-term pain and severe deformity, so the difficult decision was made amputate. Upon inspection by two orthopedic specialists, our partner vet and the shelter vet, it was determined that amputation would provide the best shot at a high quality of life moving forward, and the surgery was completed last week.

But her story doesn't end there - shockingly.

Now at just 13 weeks old, it has been determined that her right front leg also has a "healed" break, one that was not obvious, but is now in need of repair considering the additional pressure that will be placed on that leg with her recent amputation. Gwen will require an expensive orthopedic surgery to repair this leg and give her a true "leg up" to begin her life anew.

If you think that all of this trauma at such a young age has traumatized this 4 pound fighter - think again. Within 24 hours of her amputation, she was already playing, happily hopping about, trying to chase her squeaky toys and chew on her bones. If she can do all that with just three legs - one of which needs repair - just think what she'll be able to do when that leg is back in action!

We need your help to cover the costs of Gwen's surgery to repair her front leg. We need your help, to help Gwen have her shot at a healthy, happy puppyhood. Please share this fundraiser, and donate if you are able.

(Gwen’s surgery is scheduled for September 11)
