Lady Charlie is a 6 year old Basset Artésien Normand in LaGrange, KY, who needs $3,726 for Right Anal Sacculectomy.

Lady Charlie is a hilarious, perpetually hungry, and irresistibly lovable basset hound who bounced into our lives as a puppy in January 2020. She has been our resident thief from day one reaching the counters with the skill of a Great Dane and swiping everything from pizza to sticks of butter. She shares the home with two other dogs, three cats, and three humans.

During a routine checkup in April, an anal sac mass was found. The vet found Lady Charlie to have hypercalcemia - a sign of AGASACA - and biopsied the mass. Once those results confirmed the diagnosis, we were sent to Metropolitan Vet for a surgical consult. The surgeon felt that with excision of the mass, Charlie's prognosis was good.

Life would be boring without Lady Charlie's shenanigans! She carts shoes, socks, pillows, and small items into our backyard through her doggy door. She tore up so much of my garden that I surrendered and planted her a carrot patch, fencing off the rest. I call her aggressively affectionate because she absolutely loves everyone she meets and is not shy about wanting belly rubs or treats.

Over the past year, I have reduced my work hours to assist my youngest child with a medical condition. We have kept a strict budget, but we also encountered other significant expenses. Having to not worry about this surgical bill would bring such relief to our family.
