Argo is a 1-year-old Hound in Fairfax, VA, who needs $1,345 for Treatment for Ingestion of Toxin.

We adopted Argo from Nerdy Paws in February 2022. He was a birthday gift for my 12 yo who's only wish was to get his own dog. As a family we had adopted a lab/Shepard mix before the pandemic , Jack, who is my guardian and shadow. He loves and plays with the kids but will choose me over them anyday. Argo came to use with a healing leg fracture, but is so loving and cuddly and bonded with my son.

Argo is a great nap buddy! Loves splooting anytime. Hunter of everyone's socks! While he does have his own bowl to eat meals from he prefers to make it a game every day. Sometimes he flips it over and eats off the ground, next meal he prefers to eat out of my hand, and some meals he eats off a snuffle mat. We go on 3-4 walks a day, visit a local field where he spends lots of time snorting & sniff

Argo is a 50+ lb hound mix, long legs, long body, so gentle. Every time we come home, he trots up to us, gentle crawls up your front, puts his nose on you face, does lots of sniffing and snorting, and if we are lucky a kiss. He loves to think he almost got a bird on our walks! When we visit my parents, if he wants to get attention, he will steal a toy or glove and run outside waiting to be chased

On 4/26/23 my dogs decided the trashcan was a suitable source for food. This is a new habit/behavior. They ended up eating grapes, half a chocolate doughnut, chicken bones, and wrappers. I reached out to our family Vet, the emergency Vet, and ASPCA poison control for treatments and they all recommended 48 hours in the ICU for IV fluid, labs &, observation. Today they have a follow up for lab work

I am a single mom of 2 kids and 2 dogs. I've had the same job at a local hospital for 15 years and live in an apartment through a low income housing program. The total bill was $5K minimum estimate. With savings and friends $3K was paid for.
