About this campaign

Meet Lulu, our 5-year-old Morkie and the heart of our family. We brought her home during COVID while living in Iowa, and she's been by our side ever since. She's spunky, sweet, and goes everywhere with us. Her favorite moment is when all four of us are home, tucked in for the night. Lulu isn't just our dog. She's family, and we can't imagine life without her.

Lulu was treated overnight at Gulf Coast Veterinary Hospital in Houston back in May. She was having trouble breathing, constantly coughing and wheezing, and had a very distended abdomen. Doctors kept her over night in the ICU, draining fluid and running tests while she received oxygen. She was diagnosed with what they know to be PLE. She continues to see their Internal Medicine Specialist.

Lulu has been with us through every chapter since she came home. She loves her nightly walks with my dad, chasing seagulls on Galveston beach, and she's never met a treat she didn't like. Watching our spunky girl get sick has been so hard on all four of us. We want her to have a long life full of beach days. Meet her for five minutes and you'd truly want to take her home with you.

Lulu's care has become a monthly cost we can't keep up with: her prescription diet, prednisone, and frequent lab work to check her albumin. Now her vet wants to add an immunosuppressant. She's only 5, and we want her to keep getting the care she needs.
