She Just Jumped Off the Couch.

That's all it took.

Libbie is a tiny Italian Greyhound who did what dogs do every day — she jumped off the couch. She landed wrong, and both of her front legs shattered on impact.

Her vet made a compassionate call: they performed the surgery anyway, trusting that her family and their community would come through. Libbie now has a fighting chance at a full recovery.

The bill is $5,000.

Her family doesn't have it.

And if it isn't paid, Libbie will be surrendered — not to a shelter, but to a new family. Someone else's home. Someone else's couch. The people who raised her, who she runs to, who she curls up with every night — she may never see them again.

The surgery saved her legs. Now we need to save her family.

This is the part that keeps me up at night. Libbie survived the hard thing. She went under anesthesia, she woke up, she's wagging her tail through her recovery. She did everything right.

She just wants to go home.

And her family is sitting there, watching her heal, knowing that a $5,000 bill is the only thing standing between them and keeping her.

My name is Alicia Dunaway, and I own Libbie's littermate.

Maverick — Libbie's brother from the same litter — is asleep in my lap as I write this. Same mother. Same start in life. He is home, safe, loved, and has no idea any of this is happening.

Every time I look at him, I think about his sister.

Italian Greyhound owners know what these dogs are. They don't just live with you — they become part of you. They pick one person and love them completely. Libbie has already found her people. Her people have already found her. The bond is real, and it's already formed, and a vet bill shouldn't be the thing that breaks it.

Here's what your donation does:

1. $10 is real money toward a real bill for a real dog
2. $25 is a meaningful contribution that adds up fast
3. $50 gets us 1% closer to Libbie going home
4. $100 is the kind of gift that changes the math
5. $500 brings us within reach of the finish line

We're not starting from zero. Every dollar donated before yours has already made a difference. But we need to finish this.

If you can't give, please share.

The right share to the right person at the right moment could be the one that closes this gap. It's free. It takes five seconds. And it might be the most important thing you do today for someone who has no idea you exist.

Libbie came through surgery. She's healing. She's ready to go home.

Let's make sure she get's back to her family. ❤️ #BringLibbieHome
