Candy is a 1-year-old Labrador Retriever in Dublin, OH, who needs $1,000 for Ultrasound Pocus Exam and Full Blood Work.

From the first day I had her, Candy was unlike any other dog I’ve had. She, even as a puppy her awareness and intelligence blew me away. She has so much excitement for life, she wants to smell all the things, see all the things, and just soak up all that life has to offer.

Originally I had got candy, a lab because I thought she might be a good partner for my son with special needs. But she’s become my companion and best friend, she’s my shadow, and I cannot imagine her not being here. Everyone she meets falls in love with her personality

Candy is so smart and perceptive, it’s almost like having another human around. She has so much potential I hope she gets the opportunity to achieve what she’s capable of

The past few days candy has seemed pretty down and depressed, but I chalked that up to her being upset I had to work in the office and she is usually never alone. Yesterday evening though I noticed her ribs sticking out more than usual and her belly hard and distended. I took her to three vets today but they all wanted more money than I had to start treatment, the last vet said she has ascites

I’m a single mother of a child with special needs that works full time. My cost of living has almost doubled in the past several months and I don’t have the savings I would say a year ago. I do have pet insurance but it’s a reimbursement type and I still need to pay upfront
