About this campaign

Meet Aberdeen—better known as Abi—a sweet girl who lost the only home she had ever known, but couldn't have asked for better caretakers at Washington Alaskan Malamute Adoption League. After spending most of her life in a house where she didn’t get along with the other dogs, her owners made the heartbreaking decision to surrender her.

To make matters worse, just before going into their care, Abi was attacked by another dog, suffering an injury dangerously close to her eye. While the rescue was told there was no lasting damage, they never received her vet records, and it soon became clear that something wasn’t right. During her time in the shelter, Abi frequently experienced eye irritation.

They did their best to keep her comfortable with medication, but the issue kept returning. So when she moved into her foster home, they took her to see a specialist that revealed the problem—the scar tissue had healed wrong and caused entropion, a painful condition where her eyelashes rubbed against her eye. Surgery was the only way to give Abi relief.

Fortunately, the surgery went great, and she is recovering beautifully. Her foster family adores her, noting that even the veterinary staff fell in love with her. Now, this rescue needs your help to cover the costs of her surgery and ongoing care. Please consider donating to help Abi heal and also help her find the loving home she deserves.
