When we first shared Casper’s story, this goofy, loving Husky was struggling with a painful dental problem that had completely changed his usual happy personality. He didn’t want to run or play, and even eating had become difficult.
His veterinary team determined that Casper needed a thorough dental evaluation and treatment to address the underlying problem and give him relief from his pain. Thanks to everyone who rallied around Casper, he was able to receive the veterinary care he needed. 🐾
For Casper’s mom, this meant everything. After losing her job and facing difficult family circumstances, the cost of Casper’s treatment felt overwhelming. But Casper has been her best friend, her safe place, and the heart of her family for eight wonderful years.
Now, this sweet senior boy has the opportunity to get back to the goofy, playful dog his family knows and loves. Casper has spent his life being there for his mom. When he needed someone to be there for him, you answered that call. 💜
His family is incredibly grateful to everyone who donated and shared his story. Your generosity helped make his veterinary care possible and gave Casper something every dog deserves—the chance to feel comfortable and enjoy life again.
Thank you for being part of Casper’s Waggle journey and for helping this beloved boy get the care he needed. Here’s to more running, playing, goofy Husky moments, and many happy days ahead for Casper!
About this campaign
Meet Casper, an adorable 8-year-old Siberian Husky from Pennsylvania whose goofy personality and loving heart have made him the center of his mom’s world. But right now, this sweet senior boy is facing painful dental problems that have made it difficult for him to eat, play, and simply enjoy the things he loves.
It all started when Casper’s mom noticed something was wrong. He was showing unusual signs of pain and discomfort while eating, and his normally playful personality suddenly changed. He didn’t want to run or play, which was completely out of character for this happy Husky.
A veterinary examination revealed swollen gums surrounding one of Casper’s teeth—a concerning sign that he may have an abscess or a fractured tooth. To determine exactly what is happening and treat the problem, Casper needs a sedated oral examination, a complete dental assessment, and the necessary treatment, which may include extraction of the affected tooth. His estimated veterinary bill is $2,595.
For now, Casper has been prescribed daily gabapentin to help manage his pain, but medication can only provide temporary relief. The underlying dental problem still needs to be addressed, and Casper is unfortunately not eating consistently.

Casper’s mom is doing everything she can to get her beloved boy the care he needs. But after recently losing her job while also facing difficult family health news, the cost of his treatment has become overwhelming.
Thanks to a generous $200 grant from Paws 4 A Cure and the funds already raised, Casper’s remaining fundraising goal is $1,700.
Every donation will help bring Casper closer to receiving the veterinary treatment he desperately needs—and closer to being his goofy, playful, pain-free self again.
Casper’s mom says:
> “He isn't just a pet; he is my best friend, my safe place, and the heart of my family.”
For eight years, Casper has been there for his mom with endless love, comfort, and companionship. Now, he needs his family and a community of caring supporters to be there for him.
