Gypsie is a 3-year-old Pitbull in Riley, KS, who needs $1,500 for Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA).

Gypsie came to live with us in early March after she was rescued and residing at our local animal shelter. We knew she’d have some allergies that would be life long. What we didn’t know is that she was going to need a total ear canal ablation surgery to save her life. Unfortunately the infection was left untreated for so long it is taking over her very tired body.

Gypsies favorite activities include sleeping, eating and basking in the sun. After every feeding she comes to me and sits between my legs. We like to think she’s thanking me for feeding her. Gypsie loves to snuggle with her human sister and steal her snacks. Snacks and treats are the true key to Gypsies heart.

I’m a healthcare worker that worked through the pandemic and then lost my job due to the pandemic. I’ve spent roughly 3500 in 3 months to save Gypsie and am out of funds to keep helping her.

Gypsie has suffered her entire life from neglect , abuse, and horrible untreated ear infections. Earlier this year she had some procedures done to hopefully offer relief and they were unsuccessful due to how bad the infection is. Her infection is antibiotic resistant and quickly infiltrating her blood stream. Most recently we saw a specialist in KC that finally provided some answers.

Gypsie has just stolen our hearts. It’s amazing that a dog that has come from such horrible conditions is so loving and grateful. She is the most well behaved dog I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. On her good days when she’s feeling a little better she loves to jump up and give hugs and play tug of war with her sister but only for a few minutes. She tires quickly.
