Sanford School Service Dog Needs $20,000 For Surgery

A service dog that helps students in Sanford is in need of help herself. Ory has been an integral part of the classroom at Willard School since she was a puppy. Teachers said she’s had a “ruff go of it” with hip dysplasia, degenerated hips and torn ACLs in both her knees. She needs three different surgeries that will cost about $20,000 total so now school officials and students are holding a fundraiser called “Pennies for Paws.” The GoFundMe page has raised about a third of the money needed so far.
