Abby is a 9-year-old Maltese in Cullman, AL, who needs $800 for ACL reconstruction/repair.

Abby came into my life 9 years ago. She was not much more than a white fluffy ball of fur. I had lost my Mother only a few months before and had fallen into a deep depression. Some friends of mine each has a Maltese and any time I was around their dogs, I felt better. I knew then that I had to have one of these sweet little dogs. That's when I found my Abby and brought her home. She helped me through the dark place that I was in at the time. Over the years, we have formed an amazing bond. In her younger years, Abby would accompany me to many places. My therapist has suggested that I have PTSD due to the loss of my Mother. Abby is my Emotional Support Dog and has been an endless source of comfort and support. Abby has brought so much joy and laughter to my family, and she still has a lot more love to give.
