Frankie’s Friends helped Shadow receive surgery for a dislocated hip.

Four years ago, Shadow chose me to be his mom. Since that day, he has been my constant companion and my service dog, helping me through some of the hardest trials of my life. He has always been there for me — and now he needs me.

Shadow needs surgery to live a better, pain-free life. Right now, he is in so much pain. The pain medication gives very little relief, and it breaks my heart to see him struggling.

He can’t sleep with me because he’s so uncomfortable, so neither of us is resting well. He wants nothing more than to be by my side, but I’m unable to carry him and help him the way he needs.

Receiving assistance for his femoral head ostectomy through Frankie’s Friends means more to us than I can possibly express. It gives Shadow the chance to heal, to move without pain, and to continue being the loyal, loving partner he has always been to me.

Thank you for helping my sweet boy.
