Kumo is a five-year-old Great Pyrenees in Sylmar, CA, who needs $2,000 for an MRI.

When Melanie A. adopted Kumo just three weeks ago, she pledged she would be his dog mom for better or for worse. Sadly, "for worse" came quickly.

"He started suffering from seizures and had to be hospitalized," Melanie tells Waggle. "They ran multiple tests, ruled out internal diseases, and we now have to meet with a neurologist for an MRI, which we can't afford. I'm a mother of three children and don't have enough income to cover his vet bills and future ones. I opened a Care Credit account and have already spent 6K. I need help with his upcoming neurologist appointment, which is expected to be $3,500."

It's a heartbreaking situation for Melanie and her family. "He's only been with us three short weeks, but we have fallen so in love. Our kids adore him. We call him our gentle giant. He sometimes forgets his size and thinks he's a lot smaller and loves to act like a puppy. He loves going on walks and to the dog park. He loves giving drooly kisses! He has the sweetest soul ever," Melanie says.

The medical team at True Care For Pets has him scheduled for the MRI later in January, and Melanie hopes generous pet lovers will give to Kumo's campaign so they get answers and have a much better new year. "Help me give him a chance to live a good life," she pleads.
