About this campaign

Lizzie joined our family in the summer of 2009 as a puppy. We got her from a local rescue, who found her wandering the streets. When we got her, her name was Gizmo, but we didnt feel that fit her. Her nickname was Gizzie, so we settled on Lizzie. She has been with us for the past 15 years. She is one of 8 dogs that we currently have, as we do senior and disabled rescue independently.

Blue Pearl - Augusta found a mass on Lizzie's right kidney, a small, benign mass on her adrenal gland, and gallbladder mucocele. Surgery was completed to remove the kidney, the adrenal mass, and the gallbladder. After the surgery, there were complications. Her abdomen became distended with bile resulting in hospitalization, surgery to stop the leak, a drain tube for the bile, and a feeding tube.

Lizzie has always been playful and energetic. You would never know she is 15 years old. Lizzie was by my wife's side through her IVF journey, multiple miscarriages, and eventual birth of our daughter. She absolutely loves our 14 month old daughter and our daughter loves her just as much.

Last month, we lost one of our dogs to a severe kidney infection. She was hospitalized for over 2 weeks at CVETS in Columbia, South Carolina. Due to this $15K bill, we exhausted our emergency fund and have not had time to replenish.
