About this campaign

Cricket is a privately rescued dog that I took in for my family after being in a drug situation where she was not properly cared for & due to unforeseeable circumstances her family could not continue to safely keep her in the home around children due to Cricket doing better with adults only

Cricket has previously been to her vet for labwork & testing & is experiencing all the signs & symptoms of canine cushings disease. We recently had a Cortisol Snap Test done on her but her body failed to respond to that test alone & give us accurate answers so her vet suggested a different & more better test which is a little more expensive & takes longer to do which we would like to try. We would love to be able to take her back to Dr Michelle Spangler at Old Dominion Veterinary Clinic for a better test to determine the Cushings Disease

My bond with Cricket is special because she has been through & endured so much in life before I rescued her that I just feel her pain & want to try & give her the best, she has became one of my babies

I need help because I live on 1300.00 that has to pay a housing & car loan payment each month, housing payment over 700.00 & car loan over 300.00, I have utility bills that run 300.00 or better each month, cable/internet, groceries, household, & other pet expenses, & due to a local garage that I trusted to fix my car that I had paid over 600.00 to rigged it & messed it up more I have inquired once more another new 900.00 mechanics bill to have my car straightened back out from one garage
