Iris is a 9 year old Siberian Husky in Waukegan, IL, who needs $3,000 for Ear Hematoma Removal Surgery, Teeth Cleaning, and Meds.

Hello, we have had Iris since she was a baby. We rescued her from a friend who had puppies on accident and they all caught Parvo and nursed her back to health. She’s now nine years old and is having health issues, severe problems with her ears and her teeth. and two girls on her body, all of which are really bothering her. I’m out of work right now and cannot afford the vet care.

She is having major issues with her ears. She is constantly scratching them and whining, and the other dog is licking them.. she also has multiple growth on her body. We’re not sure if they’re a medical issue or not. And her teeth are chipping and causing her pain when she eats. We have not been to the vet yet because I cannot afford it, but the nearest hospital is the animal Hospital of Gurnee

She is so special she’s been with us for nine years and she is our love in our protector. We have four other animals who adore her of the cats sleep with her every night and she’s great with the new baby.

I am out of work right now and have no income coming in other than cash assistance through the state. This does not even cover our rent. I am currently looking for work and hoping to get back to work soon, but have so much to catch up on to prevent foreclosure.
