Aria Sophia is a 7 year old Standard Schnauzer in Buckeye, AZ, who needs $5,285 for Cystotomy + Urethrotomy.

Aria joined our family on March 19, 2019, after we lost our 12-year-old rescue, Peggy Sue. For my wife’s birthday, we found Aria at 5 weeks old. She instantly fit like a missing musical note alongside Oreo Maria, our bossy rescue Shih Tzu. Aria loves endless touch, snuggles, and attention, happily making herself the absolute center of her own universe.

Aria is incredibly stoic, but she suddenly stopped eating and had heavy bleeding. X-rays at Lovet Pet Health Care revealed her bladder is full of stones. She needs immediate surgery to open her bladder and remove them, followed by a lifetime prescription diet. She is strong but currently leaking chronically. I cannot bear the thought of losing her just because I can't afford to take care of her.

Aria was meant to be my wife's dog, and she quickly made me her dad. She is uniquely empathic, inquisitive, and intuitive. Aria is everyone's friend, reads the room instantly, and thoroughly investigates everyone she meets from head to toe. She's never met a human that she doesn't love. She loves my grandchildren (especially their snacks), and goes through torture willingly. Truly impressive.

On a fixed income w/no emergency fund. This sudden medical crisis is devastating. I am still healthy and eager to wrk or mk pmts to anyone who can help. I give you my word as a U.S. Marine. Giving Aria 6 to 7 more years is just a good thing. You're donation goes to the vet.
