Amaryllis is a 9-year-old Labrador Retriever mix in McKinney, TX, who needs $1,500 for immediate hospitalization.

Amaryllis, a sweet senior gal, was dropped off at the Legacy Humane Society. Her former owner said her grandchildren "dumped" the dogs on her, and she could no longer care for Amaryllis because of her medical conditions.

The humane society's veterinary team discovered Amaryllis had severe heartworm disease. They started treatment immediately, but Amaryllis suddenly went into heart failure. She's now being treated for her heart condition and doing very well in a foster home.

Sadly, it appears Amaryllis never had her own bed until she went to her foster's house. "For a few days, she didn't know what a dog bed was and would only sleep on the hard floor next to it. But, she finally figured it out, and now she loves her bed," Molly B., with the humane society, tells Waggle.

Now the nonprofit group is trying to raise money for Amaryllis' medical care, and they need your help!

"We are doing everything we can to make sure her life isn't cut short, and we would greatly appreciate all the support," Molly says. "Any amount will go a long way in helping us give her the life she's worthy of."
