Honey is a two-year-old Beagle in Huntington, WV, who needs $2,000 for critical care.

Honey was initially bought as a gift for a child, but instead of getting a loving home, the poor pup ended up living outside and getting pneumonia. When Honey's breathing worsened, her owners surrendered her to the Western West Virginia Animal Rescue Alliance.

The nonprofit group rushed Honey to the animal hospital for immediate care. Then she went to another veterinarian, and no one could pinpoint why she had lasting breathing difficulties.

"They evaluated her for collapsing trachea but found none," Courtney C., with the rescue, tells Waggle. "Honey is a medical mystery. Her breathing becomes labored and noisy whenever she tries to lie down. She has learned on her own that, to sleep, she has to tilt her head back to help open her airway. She's such a sweet girl who deserves to be comfortable with even basic needs such as sleeping."

Now the medical team at a specialty hospital, MedVet, will do a bronchoscope to examine her airways and figure out what's happening. The scope costs $3,000, and the rescue is now racing to raise the money.

"Honey cannot go on like this in her current condition," Courtney says. "She is only two years old and deserves a carefree and healthy life. Western West Virginia Animal Rescue Alliance needs your help."
