My name is Ruth!

This is not a typical re-homing situation. i would never get rid of her unless i Had to. I have a neurological movement disorder and Ruth was brought to me to be a service animal for balance and gait. However, She injured herself and will need to have TPLO surgery.TPLO surgery is common among giant breed. She does not need to have surgery ASAP bc she is still growing. It's amazing she has more to grow! She was born March 2023 and she is already 32' to the withers and 120lbs. i love her so much and i have her trained since she was 12 weeks old but she can NO longer work. I have been her 'service person'. She is a pure-bread Merle from Oak Bend Danes in Texas. If you live in Northern California. i have her set for surgery at a orthopedic hospital that only performs TPLO surgeries. The cost is $4,200. Some people choose not to have TPLO surgery. i cannot afford the surgery with my disability checkShe is so special to me so finding her the right family is number 1 to me.
