About this campaign
Our sweet Lilly Lu will steal your heart with her love and sass. She was supposed to be our foster, but she won our hearts right away. Rescued from a bad breeding situation, she was given away far too young—without even having teeth—and weighed just 1 lb. We estimate she was only about 4 weeks old. Today, she’s a huge part of our family!
Lilly has two rare, serious heart defects: severe pulmonary stenosis and a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Her heart is already significantly affected, and without surgery, her life expectancy is less than a year. She needs surgery to repair both defects. She truly is a little heart “unicorn.” She getting care at Baileys Small Animal Teaching Hospital @ Auburn University.
Lilly Lu is so much more than a rescue—we can’t imagine our family without her. She has filled our home with love, laughter, and so much personality. She fought so hard to survive her difficult beginning, and now we’re fighting for her. The thought of losing her would absolutely crush every one of us.
We’ve always done everything we can for our fur babies, but Lilly’s care is more than we can manage alone. Her exam alone was over 500$. We’re asking for help because we refuse to give up on our sweet girl and will do everything we can to save her.

❤️ Lilly Lu Update — We’re Still Fighting for Our Tiny Girl ❤️
Our sweet Lilly Lu is still fighting her little heart out. 🥹❤️
For those who have donated, shared her story, prayed for her, or simply stopped to check on her — thank you. Truly. We could not keep fighting for this tiny girl without you.
Lilly may be tiny, but she has already stolen so many hearts. She is still her happy, curious little self, completely unaware that her heart is working much harder than it should. 💔
As many of you know, Lilly was diagnosed with two congenital heart defects — severe pulmonary stenosis and a PDA. She needs specialized treatment to give her the chance at the long, healthy life she deserves.
We are continuing to work toward raising the funds needed for her heart procedures at Auburn. We still have a ways to go, so we’re asking our village not to forget about our tiny girl. ❤️
If you’ve already donated, please know that your gift is making a difference. If you can’t donate, sharing Lilly’s Waggle is just as important. One share can put her story in front of the person who can help us get her where she needs to be.
🙏 Please keep Lilly in your prayers and keep sharing her story.
She’s only a tiny little girl… but she has a BIG fight ahead of her. 🐾❤️
