Help Kali get dental work, bump near rear, and patellar issues — Milwaukee, WI

I adopted Kali as a rescue, and she has transformed my life with support beyond what most could imagine. When I feel low, she brings a smile even on days I resist leaving bed; her presence encourages me to rise and tend to her. She brightens my days consistently, proving to be an exceptional dog.

She is experiencing problems with her mouth, including large bumps that obscure her teeth; I worry this might interfere with swallowing. A bloody bump near her rear has appeared, along with scooting. She also has patellar issues. I have reached out to a veterinarian but lack the funds for an exam.

She is my everything; during my knee reconstruction surgery, she never left my side. I want her to enjoy a healthy quality of life and to live as long as possible. She is more than a pet—she is my child and my family.

I am currently unable to work because of my own health concerns, so I lack a way to gather this money, and I do not wish to lose my dog.
