Dutchess is a 6-year-old Great Dane Dog in Columbus, OH, who needs $375 for Cherry Eye repair.

Dutchess, my Great Dane is nearly 6 months old. She is very loving and after 20 years of wanting a Great Dane, I am lucky enough to have 3. I am on disability and only receive $861/mo. With gasoline going up to neatly $200/mo, I just don’t have extra for her Cherry Eye surgery. I’m hoping to get this repaired before it effects her vision.

She is a wonderful dog, very sweet and loving. Always willing to give my family, especially my grandkids lots of love and attention. She is always there to cheer me up when I’m feeling discouraged. I am so happy she is part of my family. My grandkids think she looks like a cow with all her black spots. I think Harlequin Danes are the most beautiful.

I don’t know if it makes me smile exactly but after it rains, she likes to dig up worms. I’ve never had a dog do that before. I am afraid of worms so I don’t go out and stop her. I figure it is not hurting her or anyone else. I have caught her on more than one occasion with a long worm hanging out of her mouth, gross!

She needs to have the Cherry Eye in her left eye surgically repaired TAHO (The Animal Health Organization). I'm hoping to have the surgery as soon as possible before her vision is effected. I’m very worried that I won’t get help with donation in time.

I am on disability and only receive $861 per month. I’ve been hit hard with the increase in gasoline which costs me nearly $200 per month. I applied for CareCredit but was denied. Any little bit will help. Thank you in advance.
