Sophie McDonnell released an appeal online in December to money an important operation for her family’s brand-new puppy Maya.
The Walney family found Maya had a serious case of hip dysplasia 6 months after getting the ‘lovable’ pooch.
The mum-of-one was informed her canine remained in immediate requirement of 2 brand-new hips.
Maya, who is now 11 months old, was having a hard time to perform day-to-day activities such as walking – and veterinarians state her condition will aggravate.
Concerned about her lifestyle, Sophie feared Maya need to be put down without the surgical treatment, which would cost £7,000 per hip.
Unfortunately, the family’s family pet insurance coverage would not cover the operation expenses and there were no payment strategy choices available.
Desperate, Sophie released a Go Fund Me page online in the hope of fundraising for the operation.
Animal-enthusiasts from up and down the nation were touched by Maya’s story, contributing more than £15k for Maya’s surgical treatment, which Sophie referred to as ‘unbelievable’.

The money has actually implied Maya has actually had the ability to undergo her very first hip operation which was a success.
The pooch is due for another x-ray next month and to book in her 2nd hip surgical treatment.
The family is edging better towards their fundraising target of £17,000 to spend for Maya’s x-rays and 2nd operation.
Sophie said: “She’s doing remarkably. The cosmetic surgeon said it was among the even worse he had actually seen and she most likely would have made it to 18 months old without the operation
“We are so ecstatic for the future for Maya and can’t thank everybody enough for all their assistance.
“If we make anything additional on the contributions these will go towards the go fund me charges and any aftercare required for Maya.
“I never ever believed we would make it to one hip replacement and now we can’t think it we are almost at our objective.
“Everyone has been so amazing in helping Maya have the life she deserves.”
