About this campaign
When Maddie was a 12-week-old puppy, she went to live with Kiley S., who started training her to be a service dog for Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
Kiley shed tears when the time came to drop Maddie off with the organization to complete her training. Kiley thought it was goodbye forever, but four days later, she got an unexpected call.
"They called me asking if I would adopt her; she had a heart condition," Kiley tells Waggle.
Kiley instantly said, "yes." That phone call was life-changing for Maddie and Kiley -- who suffers from an autoimmune disorder. For the last ten years, Maddie has helped Kiley.
"She picks up on emotions and health changes and takes actions to help me cope. She constantly gives love," Kiley says.
But on Maddie's 10th birthday, her nose started bleeding profusely. Kiley raced her to the animal hospital. A CT scan revealed Maddie has a mass blocking part of her nasal cavity and throat. She needs radiation to shrink the tumor.
Kiley is devastated because she can't afford the treatment. She has paid $15,000 to help Maddie so far. Kiley just got a new job after losing hers during COVID and used her savings to pay the bills while unemployed.
Please help Maddie get the treatment she needs!
