Meeko is a 1-year-old Great Pyrenees in Bryson city , NC, who needs $2,000 for Examination.

We got Meeko at 8 weeks old to protect our goats and chickens. She has been the best guardian for our animal children and our human children. She is the sweetest girl and she loves everyone she meets.

Meeko loves her goats, chickens, ducks, rabbits and humans. She loves to snuggle and has no idea nor does she care that she weighs well over 100 lbs. We named her Meeko because her face markings reminded us of the racoon on Pocahontas.

Meeko is not much of a talker, but when she gets excited, she does a little dance like "stuart" from Mad TV. "Look what I can do!" She has the biggest heart and loves all animals and people

Meeko became pregnant for the first time at 18 months old. She surprised us last night with a puppy under the porch. We brought her inside to be more comfortable, but no other puppies came, despite her still being in labor. She has rejected the one puppy that she has and is very lethargic. There may be a puppy stuck in the birth canal. This could jeopardize the puppies and her life as well.

Like many in this economy, we are not well off. Our children and our animals are everything to us. Having the amount in savings for emergencies of this nature is not always a possibility. Anything that you can do to help us save our sweet girl will be greatly appreciated.
