Fluffy is a one-year-old Corgi in College Station, TX, who needs $1,000 for emergency heart surgery.

When Anna Y. heard Fluffy, a sweet and loving Corgi, needed a new home because her owners were moving, she jumped at the chance to adopt her.

"We are dedicated to providing love and care for her," Anna tells Waggle.

And Fluffy became an instant fit and colossal hit in Anna's family. "She knows when the kids have to get out from home in the morning and is trying to escape after them to escort them to school. She also sits and waits for them by the front door to be the first one to meet them when they are back. She loves family time together and curls up by the sofa during movie nights on weekends," Anna says.

So their family, who grew to love Fluffy, were devastated when they found out she has a heart condition that needs urgent surgery.

"Fluffy has a small hole in a vessel by her heart. This created a heart enlargement and may result in heart failure if it's not fixed. Luckily our cardiologist Caitlin Stoner with Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Texas A&M University discovered the issue and is working with us on fixing it," Anna says.

Anna also has a broken heart -- because she can't afford Fluffy's surgery. The cost is more than she makes in a month.

"I am currently working on my Ph.D. from Texas A&M University and, as a graduate assistant and get paid $1,600 a month," Anna says. "My older son David is an undergraduate student in the same university, and my younger kids are small to work. Any help is very much needed now."
