Charlie Brown is a 8 year old Mix-Breed in Dumont , NJ, who needs $2,000 for TEER V-Clamp Procedure.

Charlie Brown came into my life through Louis Legacy at just 10 weeks old, a tiny two pounds of pure love who stole my heart instantly. I named him after the beloved Peanuts character, known for his big heart and gentle spirit, because my pup carried that same sweet, hopeful energy. From day one, he’s been greeting everyone with kisses, playful yet soulfulbringing joy and comfort to all.

Charlie Brown, my joyful boy, has congestive heart failure from an enlarged heart. For 6 months he’s fought bravely, taking 4 meds, 4 times a day holding on though his body ages faster than his spirit. Once we walked 6 miles daily; now each step is a gift. The V-Clamp TEER at Tufts offers him a chance to run again, free from meds that keep him alive but slowly harm his kidneys.

Charlie Brown is pure love he makes friends everywhere, convinced the world comes just to see him. During Covid, daily CVS visits lifted his spirits, and now he has friends in every town. A talker who can say hello, he’s gentle, smart, and endlessly adaptable. Vets and strangers alike say the same: there’s just something special about him. My Velcro pup, happiest curled up by my side.

Charlie Brown is only 8, yet his care since March has cost over $15k, with $500 monthly meds. Insurance covers little. As a single woman with no safety net, I face losing my otherwise healthy, joyful boy simply due to cost. He is my heart. I’m asking for help to save him.
