Athena is a 7 year old German Shepherd Dog in Loveland , CO, who needs $2,000 for Endoscopy.

I adopted Athena 6 years ago. She had been in a shelter and was so stressed the shelter had her sedated. The person who adopted her could not keep her and did not want her back at the shelter. I have had her ever since.

Athena has EPI which as been well managed for the past 6 years. She recently started vomiting foam then started refusing food. She will only eat boiled chicken in the evening and is very lethargic and losing weight. The did X-rays bloodwork and an ultrasound and could not find anything wrong aside from elevated liver numbers. She recently developed trouble swallowing and the video shows her

Athena is the smartest, sweetest, most loyal and polite friend anyone could ask for. She is always thrilled to see us and likes hugs from us so much that she has to spin afterwards. She loves snow, long walks and opening all our packages. She never touches them unless we tell her she can open them!

She needs an endoscopy next and after the few thousand I have spent I can’t afford it. I was denied care credit and have most items I own up for sale trying to gather what I can but it may not be enough or in time.
