Athena is a 10-month-old Doodle in Lutz, FL, who needs $2,000 for Surgery for Liver Shunt.

Athena seems to be another victim of over- and inbreeding and suffering the consequences. She was surrendered by her owner after being diagnosed with a liver shunt, which is likely congenital and due to irresponsible breeding.

While the liver shunt is completely curable with surgery, it is an extremely extensive process and expensive surgery with an estimate around $10,000.

Despite feeling lethargic and having so much recent change in her life, Athena continues to show her sweet and friendly personality. She is definitely a fighter!

Athena is scheduled for surgery, but in the meantime is having additional medical testing completed. She requires bloodwork, x-rays, and ultrasound, and a CT with contrast. The medical process to fix the liver shunt will be a long road.

Animalluvr's Dream Rescue is determined to get Athena the care she needs to live a long happy and healthy life. They will make sure she receives this crucial surgery no matter the cost. Please consider donating to help Athena fight for her life!
