Maggie May is a 7 year old Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois) in Panama City, FL, who needs $1,680 for Surgical Removal of Grossly Enlarged Pancreas.

Maggie May is my heart. I fell in love with her soulful eyes while looking at photos of senior dogs on a local rescue site. I knew we were meant to be and Maggie was mine from the moment we met at the shelter. After adopting her that day, she came home with me and it felt as though she had always lived here. She's my one and only, so the thought of possibly losing her is killing me.

Maggie is normally playful and silly. However, lately she has been lethargic and off her game, and has put on some weight. A visit to her vet, Dr. Hubbard at Critter Care, showed that, rather than just gaining weight, Mags actually has a grossly enlarged pancreas and is in need of surgery very soon. Yet my girl has been so strong, not exhibiting any sign of the pain she must be in.

Maggie has the cutest personality! She greets me at the door with a full-body tail wag and a wrinkled-nose grin. She's very verbal and sassy... such a southern belle! Her toys are lined up neatly in her "fort" (under the dining table) and her Thunder Shirt is always ready for the slightest rain. She's a fraidy cat and big snuggler. Affectionate and loving, playful and funny, that's my sweet Mags!

I am disabled and live on an extremely limited income. As such, paying for Maggie's surgery is out of my reach. However, I cannot imagine my home without my funny, sassy, happy girl in it. It would mean the world to me to have my girl happy and healthy again.
