Georgia is a 2-year-old Pit mix in Boone, NC, who needs $275 for Ear Cytology and diagnosis.

Two years ago my 2 children and I moved into an apartment after being pretty much homeless for 4 months prior. My daughter begged and begged to get a dog... Finally I gave in after 5 months of constant begging... We adopted Georgia from the Humane Society at 6 weeks old and she's been the best companion anyone could ever ask for. We also have adopted a stray cat that has become her best friend!

Georgia has a very strong personality. She loves attention, she loves learning new tricks and she is incredibly intelligent. She has to sleep with myself or my daughter under the covers and she refuses to be left alone unless its absolutely necessary. She pouts and looks like Eeyore if she gets upset or left alone or if she is scolded. She loves to be with the kids and I no matter where we are.

Due to the corona virus I have not been able to work hardly at all. I have very little help or support I have had to be at home with my kids on a constant daily basis. I have no other income and it hurts me to see Georgia in pain every day and not being able to do anything.

Georgia unfortunately has Pyoderma. She is allergic to A LOT of things and about two months ago her ears got infected and I am yet to relieve the constant pain that she stays in. I have taken her to the vet twice and each time I am not able to afford the complete treatment she needs in order to overcome this. She needs an ear culture and and ear rinse and several medications to get better.

Georgia is a one of a kind. We live in a big apartment complex and everyday when i walk Georgia there's not one person who sees us or passes us that doesn't call out to Georgia or is stopping to pet her. I don' even know half of these people but EVERYONE knows Georgia. She LOVES kids and i am yet to meet a kid or adult who doesn't absolutely adore her. She's like the neighborhood "nanny dog"!!
