Mattie is an eight-year-old Poodle mix in Fairbanks, AK, who needs $1,300 for emergency dental treatment.

Mattie's owner adopted her five years ago. They love each other deeply. But recently, her owner landed in the hospital after a tragic accident and can't leave until both her broken ankles heal.

Right now the best friend of Mattie's owner is caring for the dog. Mattie just developed a horrendous dental condition, and now she needs help. She had a sudden infection go from unnoticeable to horrible at the same time as her owner's accident. Her teeth became so painful she couldn't eat. She needs urgent dental surgery at Chena Veterinary Clinic to clean up her teeth and ease her pain.

Everyone is struggling to pay for Mattie's surgery. Both Mattie's owner and her best friend are on disability. They said to Waggle, "Any help would be so appreciated to reduce our burden. Chena Vet is helping keep costs low; maybe you can help two older women and our little dog?"

Mattie means the world to her owner. She is a small sweet girl who doesn't want to do much but hang out in her owner's arms. She adores treats, pets, and gentle affection. She is a quiet observer, well-natured, and never ceases to bring joy to her owner and her friends.
