There was no warning. No accident. No time to prepare. Bonnie simply woke up and couldn’t move her back legs. No explanation. No cause anyone could see. She went to sleep full of life — and woke up broken. And now she’s stuck. Stuck in place. Stuck in pain. Stuck in a body that won’t cooperate...and she is not even 4 months old yet.

And the worst part? She doesn’t understand why. We can see it in her eyes — the confusion, the fear...the sadness.  She tries to scoot forward when she sees someone she loves. She tries to stand to do the things she’s done before. But she can't, her legs won’t let her. She sees the other puppies​ and young dogs playing and so desperately wants to play too but she must just sit with sadness and watch as they have fun playing without her.

Her family, heartbroken and desperate, reached out to us for help. They couldn’t afford the tests she needed. They wanted answers but were drowning in the cost. So, they made the selfless choice to surrender her — and give her a shot at healing through us. Now, Bonnie is safe. But she’s still in limbo, in pain and so very confused. Still waiting. And now it’s up to us to give her a New Beginnings in her young life. We’ve gotten the radiographs, the bloodwork and the referral to a specialist. The next step is an MRI and Spinal Tap — crucial tests that could tell us why this happened and what we can do to fix it. But we can’t move forward until we raise the funds for the tests and specialists. And every day we wait, Bonnie remains in limbo. Scared. Stuck. Depressed. And slowly slipping further away. We’re begging for your help. This MRI and spinal tap could mean the difference between paralysis and possibility. Between a life on the ground and a chance to run again. But we can’t do this without you.
Please — if you’ve ever seen a puppy look at you with pleading eyes but trapped in her own body wanting to play, wanting to follow, wanting to live — know that Bonnie still wants that, too. She’s still fighting for it. Let’s fight with her. Donate today and help us get the answers Bonnie deserves. Her life is on pause. Let’s press play again.
