Gracie Mae is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Ruffin, SC, who needs $2,000 for Continued Blood Transfusions and Tests for IMHA.

Gracie was a mangy, feral puppy found on the streets. She was trapped by a local dog rescue. We adopted her and our tiny puppy made a huge transformation into a beautiful dog. You can imagine our heartbreak when an allergy injection turned her immune system haywire. Gracie's own immune system is killing off her red blood cells. She has been diagnosed with IMHA, Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia.

Gracie received her Cytopoint injection on March 15. By April 25, we were rushing her to an ER vet for an emergency transfusion. She has been diagnosed with IMHA. Without treatment, she will die. She had a second blood transfusion along with a multitude of other tests. She gets full CBC panels run weekly and daily immunosuppressants. This is curible and can go into remission with treatment.

Gracie is Paula's lifeline providing emotional support and love. You might say they are joined at the hip. If you are looking for Gracie, you only need to go as far as Paula's arms. Gracie also gives us hours of pleasure in the backyard playing fetch. That dog is ball obsessed. At night, it's not enough to be in bed with us. She has to be physically under the covers touching one of us.

Paula is on disability and Lila is a retired classroom teacher. We also run a nonprofit sanctuary for birds of prey. Lila is often on the road providing free programs for schools. We have also opened our doors to numerous farm animals in need of rescue.
