Minnow is a 4 year old Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois) in Kawkawlin , MI, who needs $2,000 for Anal Gland Sac Surgical Removal.

Minnow came into our lives a few months after losing our German Shepherd of 13 years. Leery of taking another dog, a friend told us to give Minnow a try. As a pup, Minnow came from a crack house before being rescued and taken away from it. Her rescuers took her for two years but not long term. We gave her a chance and fell in love. Having her almost 2 years now, thinking of losing her is tragic.

We are seeking financial assistance for Minnow's upcoming CT scan/pending surgery. Health issues started after anal gland infections. First vet consult put her on wrong antibiotic for infection, causing kidney/ liver counts to go high. A second vet opinion, found hard tumor in anal sac, causing infection. They put her on the right meds but tumor didn't shrink. The tumor must be surgical removed.

Favorite treats are chicken and sweet potato bones. She can sit, stay, speak, roll over, and high five. She has athletic skills with her frisbee. During winter loves to eat and roll around in snow. She loves car rides, her smile is priceless. However, Minnow hates thunder and rain causing her anxiety. Special people are grandma and grandpa and four-legged friends Freddy and neighbor dog Arthur.

Our financial situation does not allow us the ability to do what we need for Minnow. A combination of the current economy and four college student loans have kept things tight. We pray that we can keep Minnow for many years. She needs help and we would do anything for her.
