Iris is a 3-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier in Asheville, NC, who needs $710 for I.V. fluid treatment for pancreatitis.

We got iris when she was just weened from her mother I originally got her as a present for my daughters and as a guard/nanny dog she just turned 3 back in October she has been the light of mine and my daughters lives she has protected and helped my daughters to learn patience and responsibility she was just diagnosed with pancreatitis and is currently undergoing treatment

Iris is a very special member of our family she loves my daughters and loves to chase and play with them in the yard she even gets on the trampoline with them she absolutely loves to play fetch and run laps around our house she always has to sleep with someone or she will whine until you let her she has the biggest heart

Iris loves everyone she meets she’s the sweetest dog ever she is such a goofball as well she loves to sit at our feet and whine until we play with her or let her into our laps she’s a 60lb lap dog but we love it she has a very funny habit of spreading her front paws on the floor with her butt in the air while she barks at you for attention

So Iris was just diagnosed with pancreatitis a few days ago and I was able to get some donations from friends and family and even the Asheville humane society but unfortunately it isn’t enough she still needs a couple days of I.V. Fluids and medications and the hospitalization fee so we are asking for any possible help we can get all donations will go directly to the vet

I lost my job 6 months ago due to covid and being a single father with no childcare it has been rough to say the least but I have managed to provide for my family until this terrible diagnosis and now I have gone broke giving what little money I had for her treatments
