Jaycee is a 9-year-old in New Ipswich, NH, who needs $1,500 for Diabetic Treatment.

My husband & I rescued Jaycee as a young puppy in 2013, as a companion for our Black Lab, Murphy. The two became fast friends & were inseparable, (until Murphy's passing about a year & half ago, which since then she hasn't quite been the same) Jaycee came up from down south & was fostered in NH. She quickly became the perfect spunky fit for our family.

Jaycee enjoys relaxing on the couch, laying in the sun on the back deck when it's nice out. She is not so enthused by her new puppy brother's crazy antics but will occasionally join him in a vigorous game of tug. She loves sleeping next to Mom's side of the bed and putting her paws up to come and snuggle mid-way through the night. She now enjoys pets & love from her human sister, Harper.

Jaycee is very special to us because we have had her since she was a young pup. As mentioned, before she quickly became the perfect fit. The Ying to Murphy's Yang. She, also always has a way of making us say "Oh, Jaycee..." She has the independent attitude of cat, but yet the snuggling nature of a dog & the only resting B. face.

Recently, Jaycee was very lazy & began to have a few pee accidents in the house, which dried VERY sticky. This called for concern & lead to an overnight vet stay and a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus. BJ at Townsend Veterinary Hospital was quick to action in helping us to get this situation under control and educating us. This diagnosis will require, freq. visits, prescription food & insulin.

This was a very unexpected event leading to a major expense with no emergency fund. I am also going to be on maternity leave without compensation, starting next week.
