Jobi is a 5 year old Yorkshire Terrier in Huachuca City, AZ, who needs $2,000 for Diagnostic MRI.

Jobi came to us as a gift from my ex-husband to the kids on Valentine’s Day 2020. We named her Jobi because, at the time, we were studying the Book of Job as a family. Less than six months later, our lives were completely upended due to my ex-husband’s terrible actions, which led to his imprisonment. Through the transition Jobi provided emotional support and care for me and my kids.

obi had no medical issues until March 7, when we left home for two hours and returned to find her unable to move her hind legs. We rushed her to the emergency vet, where X-rays, lab work, and an exam revealed no clear cause. The vet suspected a spinal or nerve issue and recommended an MRI—which is costly—and possibly surgery. She’s now on crate rest with steroids, but we are desperate for answers.

Jobi has an incredible bond with my children, from singing “Happy Birthday” to them to waking them up each morning with our special “Time for School” song. She is especially close to my daughter, who adores animals and dreams of becoming a vet. Losing our 15yo Lab/Dane, Dudley, last month was heartbreaking, and now facing Jobi’s health struggles makes this even more devastating for our family.

As a single mother, surviving only on a teacher salary and no additional income, my finances are stretched thin. Jobi’s love and presence brought comfort through loss, offering unwavering support and healing in hard times and we aren’t ready to see her quality of life suffer
