Dixie needed a second chance.

When sweet senior terrier Dixie suddenly stopped feeling like herself, her family knew something was wrong. She lost her appetite, developed severe diarrhea, and just wasn't the happy little dog they knew and loved.

After an initial veterinary visit, they were told her symptoms were likely related to neck pain. But something didn't feel right. Trusting their instincts, they sought a second opinion—and we're so grateful they did.

Flying Pigs Sanctuary veterinarian discovered two tumors in Dixie's mammary glands and found that she was in desperate need of a dental procedure. The answers they had been searching for were finally found.

As part of their community outreach program, Flying Pigs Animal Sanctuary helps families facing overwhelming veterinary costs. After already spending money on a visit that didn't uncover the real problem, Dixie's family was struggling to afford the treatment she desperately needed. They stepped in to cover the cost of her surgery to remove the tumors and give her the dental care she needed.

Every donation goes towards covering Dixie's medical care. If you'd like to help Flying Pigs Sanctuary continue providing her the best care and support, please consideration making a donation of any size today.

Together, we're giving animals like Dixie the second chance they deserve
