Jace is a 12-year-old Toy Poodle in Hudson, NH, who needs $2,000 for surgery to remove 15 bladder stones.

Life has been challenging for Lee C., and Jace is a constant ray of sunshine who cheers her up.

"Jace is the most important thing to me in my life," Lee tells Waggle. "I often find myself talking to him and half expecting him to answer. He sleeps in bed with me every night, hugged up tight against my back."

A few years ago, Lee started having health issues. She needed neck surgery and, more recently multiple back surgeries. "I have been on Disability since these issues started to arise, and over these past five years, to my surprise, Jace and I became even closer. After every surgery, he was right by my side, giving me kisses and making sure I was okay."

But recently, Jace started struggling. Lee brought him to Massachusetts Veterinary Referral Center animal hospital.

"Jace was diagnosed with 15 stones in his bladder ranging in size from small to surprisingly large that had to be surgically removed. He also had a growth on his spine, so that had to be removed too," Lee says.

Lee is now struggling to pay for all of Jace's medical care. She launched this Waggle campaign, hoping you will help them. "Being on Disability has been very tough on me," she says. "Especially financially; I barely am able to live check to check. Jace never gave up on me, and I'll never give up on him in return. A pets' unconditional love cannot be matched."
