Maple is a 2.5 year old Boxer in Edgewood , MD, who needs $2,000 for Pyometra Surgery.

Maple came from an abusive background and came into our lives from a Craigslist ad. I picked her up in Baltimore City and she was scared to death. She has worked really hard to overcome the traumas she endured, and still struggles meeting new people, especially men. I'll never know what she went through, but I want to be sure she's safe and comfortable at home.

Maple is being seen at Jarrettsville vet for pyometra and will require surgery. Her symptoms came in within 3 days. Day 1 drinking a lot. Day 2 accidents, so we suspected UTI. End of the night we noticed some blood and thought she started heat. Day 3 she was leaking bloody mucus and lethargic.

Maple is my heart. She was the dog we rescued after our 11 year old passed a year prior. She is my little shadow and has learned so much about gaining self confidence. This girl wouldn't even take a treat when we first got her. She is now a cuddle bug that won't leave mom's side.

I am currently on workers comp and looking for something else to gain productive employment that I'm physically capable of doing. I'm willing to volunteer as well.
