Mickey is a 3.5 year old Siberian Husky in Norwood, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Abdominal Exploratory Surgery - Laparotomy.

Mickey is my first dog and best friend. We adopted him 3 years ago after moving to the U.S. from Ukraine. We live in New Jersey, and he’s always been by my side—on beach trips, at dog parks, or just walking in our neighborhood. He's a huge part of my daily life.

Mickey was diagnosed with an intestinal obstruction caused by a foreign object. We were hoping to avoid surgery and the fluids were injected under his spine to help, but his condition became critical. Now he's undergoing emergency surgery to remove the foreign object at AERA in West Caldwell.

Mickey has a calm and loving soul. He senses when someone feels down and stays close, always offering comfort. After I lost two uncles in the war in Ukraine last year, Mickey helped me through deep sadness a lot. His love is pure, loyal, and incredibly healing for our whole family. I couldn't lose my best friend.

As a full-time student, I couldn’t afford this sudden emergency. My family had to take out CareCredit, but monthly payments are overwhelming. Getting Mickey healthy again means saving the one being who brings me peace, joy, and strength during the hardest times.
