Mable Rae is a 7-year-old Pitbull in Albuquerque, NM, who needs $250 for Eye Specialist Examination.

On October 20, 2023 I drove to Valencia County Animal Shelter to pick up a darling blind pitbull that came in as a stray. I keep an eye on the Valencia volunteer Facebook group, which is where I saw the plea for a rescue to take this sweet girl, no one had volunteered, so I went and got her as a foster. This shelter euthanizes for space and I didn't want this sweet girl to lose her life.

Mable has proven to be an easy going pup who LOVES people and other dogs! Since Mable is blind, she is extra sensitive to noises and if we walk past a person talking she absolutely has to stop and say hi. When she meets strangers she likes to lean into them for pets and will usually end up flopping onto the ground for belly rubs. She also does great with my dog in the home and loves children!

By simply looking at Mable, one knows that life has not been fair to her. Her body shows a history of neglect and although there is no way to know what happened to Mable in her past, the state she was in when I got her spoke volumes. But the thing is, Mable is full of LOVE. For people, animals & life. She loves squeaky toys, to roll in the grass & most of all cuddle up with her human.

Mable tested positive for ehrlichiosis, which is a awful disease that develops from a infected tick and can cause blindness. Dr. Glandon and her team from Eubank Animal Clinic has been AMAZING in getting her health on track but has referred us to an eye specialist at VCA as the pressure in her bad eye is 70, a healthy range is 12-14. The initial consultation to see a specialist is $250.

I was not planning on fostering a dog, but just knew that I had to get Mable as she was at risk for euthanasia. As a single income household, I have done my best to care for Mable, but am at a point where I need help to get her the care that she deserves.
