Charlie, who is currently hospitalized with diabetic ketoacidosis. His condition is critical, and continued hospitalization is required to stabilize him and save his life. He is at Orchard Park Veterinary Center.

Charlie has been part of Michelle’s life for 10 years, and I’ve been lucky to know him for the past five. He’s family, and the bond we share is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Charlie’s warm, calm personality shines through to everyone he meets, and knows how to make us laugh. I love when he dives into grocery bags, just to make noise and get a reaction out of us.

The projected cost for Charlie’s care is $7,649.74 – $13,791.74, with a $6000 deposit due at admission or they wouldn't treat him. We were able to provide $2,500 to cover the first day. I was working out town and now I'm looking for a job here. Michelle is searching as too
