Mary Jane is a 10 year old Jack Russell Terrier in Garner, NC, who needs $2,384 for Canine Laparoscopic Spay.

She came to me on a day I was quietly breaking. My ex surprised me with her and her brother—$20, a Walmart parking lot, and a kind Spanish family. He spoke her name into existence. She stayed. Ten years later, she’s still my comfort, my constant, my heart.

We’re in a 911 emergency. Her uterus is infected and leaking pus, and a mammary tumor is growing and bursting. She’s in pain, uncomfortable, and needs emergency spay surgery ASAP. Time matters. We’ll travel anywhere. Please help us save her life.

She sings on cue, loves music, and always guides me to safety when the world gets loud. I lost relationships choosing her—and I’d do it again. She carried me through my grandma’s passing and years on the road. She never met a stranger. I just want her running full speed with me for 5 + more years.

From terrible health working on a 18 wheeler and healing lupus in my own body, I got off the road but still trying to maintain as a property manager for a extended stay company hasn’t yet afforded me the additional income to come up with almost $3,000 extra for her yet.
