Luna is a 7-year-old Poodle mix in East Haven, CT, who needs $5,000 for burn treatments.

The loss Kasey M. and her family experienced are unfathomable.
It all started when her husband, Robert, a firefighter, got a department emergency alert on his phone. He was shocked to see the address of their home flash across his screen.
"He called me and said, 'You need to get home. Our house is on fire!'' Kasey tells Waggle.

She knew all their kids were out of the house but was worried sick about their animals.
When she got to her street, fire engines blocked the road, she couldn’t get through. She pulled her car over, threw it into park, and started running toward her house. "I could smell the burning plastic, and I could tell it was really bad," Kasey says.

"A volunteer firefighter jumped in the car with the dog warden and kept the oxygen on her, while the police gave them an escort to Central Animal Hospital," Kasey adds.

She was devastated to learn seven of her pets, two dogs, four cats, and one rabbit were killed in the fire. "The animals were all in the backyard under a tarp. I couldn't bring myself to go back there," Kasey says. The only one to survive was Luna, an adorable Poodle mix, who was already on her way to the emergency room.

The fire was out, but the scene was chaotic and surreal. Rescue crews told her they pulled all eight of her pets out of the house and tried to save them. "The firefighters worked on all the animals in my backyard and tried to resuscitate them," Kasey said. "There were more firefighters trying to work on my animals than in my house.”
