Emma is a 8 year old Miniature Australian Shepherd in Colorado Springs, CO, who needs $2,000 for Chemotherapy (carboplatin).

Emma belonged to my best friend and love of my life who passed last year from sarcoma cancer. He begged me me not to split up his dogs so I brought them home, with my disabled mom and my now 5 year old daughter. I'm a single working mom, the three of us are living off my income and my mother's disability. Emma and her sister integrated into my existing pack of 3.

Emma has been diagnosed with sarcomas for sure possible osteosarcomas, the same thing that took her human dad away from us. I spent all of August trying to find a vet that would remove the tumors and all of September getting her through the surgery and Recovery. Now we've met with Southern Colorado veterinary internal medicine and oncology and they believe she has one more and needs chemo too.

Emma's favorite people right now are myself and my daughter with my mom taking the third spot. However she loves her first sister that came home with her and loves the rest of the pack. She's even gotten to the point where she decides she loves the cats.

I'm still recovering from my divorce that finalized in 2024. It cost me over $25,000 that I'm still attempting to pay off. I promised my best friend that I would take care of his dogs and have incurred costs up to the same amount. We're struggling to keep the lights on.
