Athena is a 3-year-old Husky in Independence, MO, who needs $440 for X-Rays with Anesthesia.

We bought her as a puppy. She needed a lot of treatment because she had several kinds of worms. I have always kept up on all of her care. She is 3 years old now. She is in an awesome ,safe home with a lot of people who love her. She is very loving and brings smile to all of my household. I love taking her for walks and spending quality time with her.

She is a very happy energetic dog. She is very friendly with everybody that comes through our door. She gets a lot of chew treats and loves to play with everybody. She is not aggressive toward anybody or any other animals. She always has to be the focus of attention. When you sit she will be right there to get a perfect scratch

She makes me smile simply because of her existence. She knows when I get home. She is in the window watching for me. Anytime I go shopping she meets me at the door because she knows I bought her something. She even has her own toy box. This dog is my world. She is just like one of my children, I need to meet her needs too.

The vet thinks the problem is in her back between L4 and L5. She has pain sometimes and doesn’t walk right. She needs to be put to sleep to get some accurate X-rays for a diagnosis. Vet says she is too young for arthritis. Our local animal hospital has always taken good care of my pets needs and provides excellent service.

I’m a mother of 3. The father isn’t any where to be found. I take care of myself and my kids along with my dog. I cannot have any upfront money to get the test and treatment my dog will need. My checks are already stretched really thin and I make to much for any assistance.
