Foxy is a 7-month-old Shiba Inu in Allegany, NY, who needs $2,000 for TEE and Ventricular Septal Defect Repair.

We adopted Foxy from a breeder at the age of 5-6 months. We weren't provided any paperwork as promised. We took her to prevent her from being euthanized when adopting another dog. We took her for her first vaccines, and learned she has a heart murmer. She is a great dog! She is a Shiba Unicorn. She is not the typical Shiba. She's a calm, loving dog that is great with my 6 year old,

Foxy is very loving. She lives with My daughter and me. We share our home with cats and 2 pet rabbits. All of whom were rescued. She fits in well. Low pretty drive for a Shiba, and goes to "grandmas" daily for doggy daycare and socialization. She is house training all. We believe she wasn't socialized at the breeders, but mostly kept Kenelled. She's come so far in a short time.

Foxy has a high pitched sequel that says she wants to play. She loves to interacts with her toys, and has learned to disassemble some. She's very bright. She gets so excited when I pick her up after work from my mom's, and is ready to go home to see her "girl". She loves her daily walks, and pay time with the cats. She's unique though. She knows not to chase them.

Foxy was recently diagnosed with a heart murmur. Due to its severity, we were able to get her an emergency appointment with Cornell Veterinary Hospital which diagnosed her with a membreanous ventricular septal defect. She has a 6 month window for repair which would correct her heart defect, and provide her a normal lifespan. With out this $20,000 surgery, she has 6 months - 1 year to live.

I am a single mom who works as a Licensed Vet tech FT and pet sits to make ends meet. LVT's don't make much money. We do it for the love of animals. I don't want to see my daughter lose her first dog. We can't afford this without your help. I plan on fundraisingto help
