Calvin is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Scarborough, ME, who needs $2,000 for Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia.

We adopted Calvin in 2020 through a rescue in NH. He joined his big sister, Cleo, Dana, and I in our home in Scarborough. He has been the most perfect addition to our family ever since. Medically, Calvy has not had an easy ride. When we first adopted him, he struggled with tummy and skin issues, however, once figured out, he was a healthy, happy 50 pound boy with an amazing and shiny coat.

In 2022, Calvin was brought to MVMC and was ultimately diagnosed with PLE. With a special diet, meds, and check ups, Calvin was back to his energetic self in no time. This past June, Calvin returned to MVMC because of concerning symptoms, where he was diagnosed with IMHA. After 3 weeks of recovering, he was readmitted twice within a week, due to other complications with IMHA and the strong meds.

Calvy is the most special boy. He brightens every room, and everyone's day. He is goofy, energetic, curious, clever, and so loving. He lets his sisters boss him around, but he loves them. He loves running on trails, sticking his head out the window, sleeping under the covers during bedtime, eating snacks, laying on his (many) dog beds in any room we are in, and just being anywhere with his family.

We work really hard: Dana's overtime days, and my working 3 part time gigs, even after teaching. With PLE, there were many medical expenses. And now, with IMHA, there are good days and hard days, and consistent medical expenses for our Calvy boy to be all the way healthy.
