Ash is a 3-year-old Dachshund mix in Eureka, CA, who needs $1,613 for Kidney failure treatment.

Ash is a rescue from a high volume shelter out of the area. He was recently transferred to our shelter so that we can help find him a forever home to live out the remainder of his years in. While he is in our shelter, we are working hard to get him healthy so that he can get a fresh, new start in his new home.

Ash is a friendly and sweet little guy. He has been friendly with all of the shelter staff despite all of the medical problems he came to us with. He has been such a trooper with all of the treatments that he has gone through and continues to be a happy go lucky little guy. We are excited to help him find a forever home once he has recovered enough to be ready for adoption!

As a non profit, no kill shelter, our funding is limited and based on donations, grants, and other fundraising methods. When we have a pet with outstanding medical costs, we often have to get more creative with our funding to make sure we can provide the care needed.

When Ash came to our shelter we quickly realized that he had some severe kidney issues. We took him into Sunny Brae Animal Clinic since he was getting very sick and they tested his kidney levels and found they were way above the normal range. Luckily his levels have dropped significantly after spending many days at the vet . He doing much better and is now on a special diet to help his kidneys.

He have found Ash to be special for a number of reasons. He has been consistently friendly and sweet despite all that he has gone through since he arrived at the shelter. All his medical problems have been really tough on him but we have been amazed by his resilience and how he continues to be such a sweet little dog!
