Achilles is a 6-year-old Maltipoo in San Diego, CA, who needs $1,869 for Pyometra Emergency Surgery.

I got her from a neighbor whose dog had puppies in need of adoption. She has been with us since she was a tiny puppy. She was a light during a dark time for me, as we got her at the time our family was breaking up. She came just at the perfect season because she brought us a much needed newness and joy to our lives.

She loves to play fetch and tug with my 2 boys and her sister who is also a maltipoo. She loves to be active which is how we knew something was very wrong withing just a couple days of becoming infected within her uterus from Pyometra, and now her life is in danger without surgery , and we love her tremendously and dont know what our family would be like without her.

I lost my job as a Part Time Teacher due to Covid-19 and have been out of work since March 2020, and still have not been able to return, in addition to being unable to reach the EDD office to obtain my unemployed benefits.

This is an unexpected life saving surgery. The minimum cost was 2700 and came as a complete shock. She was lethargic and began vomiting and was barely moving . She began bleeding heavily. The vet was kind enough to double book an appt to be able to assess her urgently and in doing so was able to do an emergency surgery within 2 hours and without him she would have died.

She is what we call our "Happy-Paw-Dancer". When she is happy to see a loved one come home, or is just feeling good, she drops on her back for a belly rub followed by a forward and back motion w her 2 front paws repeatedly brushing her face until she causes herself to aggressively sneeze. Once she recovers from the sneeze, she continues usually. Haha
