It's a pure breed pomeranian who was dumped on the side of the road due to her legs. The hind joints are not locking into place. I would like to know if there are any groups out there that can help me pay for her surgery? The bill is going to be greater than $2,000.

Go to this site, and put in your own zip code. then contact any and all shelters in your area. Some of them have programs that will allow you to turn the dogs over to them (on paper) but you keep the dog as its foster care home. These shelters often have sponsors for dogs in need, and receive discounts for medical care..If the first one doesn't have such a program keep calling the others.
Check with the Pomeranian rescue, as well. many of these will help a Pom, but most breed rescues want them in their own care. < National Rescue Coordinator: Rescue@AmericanPomeranianClub.org
If you can't get help from those rescues, then try for the Care Credit card.. It is no-interest card to be used for veterinary care, and it allows up to 18 months to repay.. all of the vets in my state accept this card..
You can apply on-line, and know within minutes if you have been approved.. All it requires is a steady source of income.

For veterinary care, go to this page, and click on "professions', and scroll down to 'veterinary'.

The Animal Hospital Association provides grants for emergency care. It is called the "helping pets" fund. There is also a program called "carecredit." Every vet I know accepts carecredit...you still have to pay the bills, but they let you do it over time in payments.
I also suggest that you call your local Humane Society or other animal shelter. They may have contracts with certain vets for low cost services or know of other grants and discounted medical care.
Also, contact your regional office of the Humane Society of the United States, and a local Pomeranian Dog Rescue in your area.
I've been in a similar situation, so I know how tough it is to find all those resources at first. Good luck!

Contact your local Pomeranian Rescue Group and the local shelter. In the mean time, confine her to crate rest. Just do a google search for "Pomeranian Rescue-My City"
