Ash is a 7-year-old Siberian Husky in West Allis, WI, who needs $2,000 for Thoracotomy.

We welcomed Ash as a member of our family 7 years ago. He is and always will be our first baby. He lives with us, Chris, Liz, and two children along with two furry siblings our cat Harlow and puppy Jax
Four months ago, we lost his husky sister, Ruby at 5 years old to an untreatable bone cancer. He has been there with us through that period of grief and we emotionally got through it together.

Ash is the eldest but also the baby in the house. He loves to play with his Great Dane younger brother, Jax. Our 6 and 3 year old daughters love to cuddle up with Ash. He spends all of his time indoors with us in our house during the summer. But in the winter, his husky nature comes out and he stays outside all day long!

Like I said, he loves to be with his four legged friends, Jax(Great Dane puppy) and Harlow( rescued calico cat). He has a special bond with Chris and I and the girls. We enjoys having his alone time, but will never turn down a good scratch behind his ears. He loves to be vocal and howl when it is time for one of his favorite bones or treats.

A few days ago, Ash was diagnosed with a spontaneous pneumothorax, or collapsed lung. Air is escaping from his lung causing excess air to pour into his chest cavity. The pressure from this air restricts his lungs from being able to help him breathe. The ER vet has placed a temporary chest tube port so that we can physically excrete this air from his chest 4x a day.

Due to Ash’s condition, we were given an unexpected $10,000 estimate for this surgery to save his life. Please consider helping us in saving our baby and giving him a long healthy life.
