Archie is a 6-year-old Catahoula in Saint Francis, WI, who needs $2,000 for Foreign Body Removal Surgery.

Archie came into my life at 3 weeks old. His mom was sick and couldn't care for her puppies. He was bottle fed and came to work with me in a picnic basket. He's my baby. He's been with me thru many losses and has been my constant companion.My only child recently left for college, and I've been so lost. It's just him and I, now and most days I don't think I'd get out of bed without him.

At one point there was 5 of us. My 23 year old siamese cat and him were unlikely bffs. They took care of each other. Punky has been gone 2 years now.
My ex partner is the reason he loves boys. They were inseparable, although we weren't together, they picked up where they left off every time. we lost Chris last December and it's been so so hard. Now it's just him and I. I cant imagine losing him.

Archie is a soul reader. He became my emotional support dog when he was just over a year, because he always knows when he's needed. His personality is so sweet and he is so affectionate
He is also a herding dog and is my bossy shadow. He will demandingly usher me to bed, when he's tired, then abandon me when i comply, just because he has major FOMO and needs to sort his people

Archie has been vomiting for almost 3 weeks off and on, and i finally was able to find the funds to get him to the vet and. he ate something that looks like a pacifier. he's not eating. he's skinny and lethargic. I amnstruggling hard these days. I'm fighting a eviction because my apartment won't recognize him as an ESA. The salon I've been employed at for over 6 years, suddenly closed.Im stuck

Archie is my best friend. He is my child and I cannot bare to be without him. He is family. If I were to receive assistance, I could look at the world with less jaded eyes. i would pay it forward in numerous ways. I have lost so much.. we need each other.
