About this campaign

We rescued this poor, sweet girl over mothers day weekend 22. She was very calm and sweet but she had sad eyes, given her condition, who could blame her? After some gentle coaxing and lots of sniffs we quickly earned her trust. My husband told me to call the vet monday but not to let my hopes get too high. We were both almost certain euthanasia would be her only option.

Our daughters called her Ice because she is almost white, this quickly evolved to Icee, Icee Girl and Isis. It didn't take long for her to capture our entire households heart. She and our rescue kitty became fast friends, kindred souls. The other animals immediately warmed up to her as well and she became our daughters' shadow. She goes where they go and gets so worried if they cry!

Isis loves when the girls take her for walks on her leash, she's so gentle! Even if they run she pays close attention to make sure she doesn't hurt them. She always has her nose to the ground when we're outside, itching for something to chase. At bedtime she only sleeps if she's right next to her bed and I'm touching her. If I move she grabs my hand with her paw and pulls it right back to her!

After taking Isis to the vet, it was confirmed that she has mammary tumors, and a large tumor in her uterus that is causing a vaginal prolapse. She was also at least 10 pounds underweight and had a double ear infection. She is currently on 2 antibiotics and 2 pain pills while I try to gather enough money for her surgery. She has to have a bilateral mastectomy and spay to remove the uterine tumor.

We weren't expecting Isis to come into our lives. My husband is a seasonal worker, we are catching up on bills from the winter and don't have an emergency fund. When I found Isis she was weak, tired, and defeated. Her eyes had no light in them. Over the past week I've seen so much joy in her, she's playful she's loving and getting stronger. Please help us give her a second chance. She's so deserving
