About this campaign

I first met Button in the pound, 8 years ago. No one wanted her. She had been in the pound for 6 months and she was one step away from being put down. She picked me as her owner, so I took her home. Button had fear based aggression with other humans and dogs. With a lot of love and patience, she has overcome most of her fears.
We have been all over the country together and now live in Groton, CT.

Unfortunately, Button was bitten in the face by a coyote when Button was trying to chase the coyote off our property. Button is suffering from 3 wounds that need immediate medical attention. We are getting treatment at VCA animal hospital in West Hartford, CT.

Button is my best friend. She's got tons of personality, loves meeting other dogs and people, loves going on rides, and absolutely loves hiking and backpacking. She has been to every coast with me, but since my sickness, our adventures have become few and far between. My husband still tries his hardest to give her the life I used to give, because that's what she deserves.

Since getting Button, I have developed a pretty serious medical condition that causes me frequent trips to the ER and many medical appointments. There is little research on my condition, so treatments involve trial and error with medication. It has put me in severe debt.
