Birdie is a 10 year old American Bulldog in Sherman Oaks, CA, CA, who needs $2,000 for Radiation Oncology.

Birdie has been my joy, my home, and the best part of my world since 2017. I adopted her from a shelter in LA. The simple version of our story is: being able to care for her at the point in my life I no longer believed I could care for myself gave me hope, allowed me to seek help and recovery, and lead the life I have today. Today, I do my best to help others heal from their trauma as a therapist.

Birdie has been diagnosed with cancer in her bones (skull, specifically) and the cartilage of her mouth. The location and nature of the cancer eliminate surgery to remove and stopping the cancer’s growth. Radiation is the treatment option available for Birdie’s condition per the assessments of the incredible and attentive folks at True Care for Pets & Modern Animal.

Birdie is a cherished member of my family. She is the most gentle creature and brings a sense of peace, ease, and safety to all (& her BFF is a saucy lil cat). I can’t count the amount of times I’ve heard, “there is something so special about this dog,” from friends and strangers alike. Birdie has taught me the contentment in calm, the value of doing less, and how little it takes to be blissful.

The unpredictability of life, like Birdie’s recent diagnoses, have made it so I am unable to pay for her treatments myself. I am so grateful for my beautiful life, please help me spend more time with Birdie, if you’re able. Thank you, sending love and gratitude. 🤍
