Moab is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever in Bozeman, MT, who needs $2,000 for Emergency Heat Stroke Treatment.

Moab is a fun-loving, hard-working, loving golden retriever who is (almost) 6 but can still kick it like he's a pup! We've moved around a bunch from upstate New York to Colorado to Texas and currently Montana. He loves to join us for our adventures in the backcountry skiing, running, or hiking! He's the best adventure partner a girl could ask for.

Moab is a sweet, sweet boy who loves to cuddle up on the couch just as much as he loves to run long miles in the woods. He shows love to anyone and everyone, giving them the support they need. He is my emotional support animal but has helped so many others feel safe, secure, and steadied with his demeanor.

Being my emotional support animal, Moab has been trained to help me get through anxiety/panic attacks, stay grounded during intense or scary situations, and remind me to breathe when I get overwhelmed. He is the reason I am still alive, after helping me get through a few near-death years in treatment for a severe eating disorder.

On a recent 20 mile hike across the Ridgeline in Montana (from Fairy Lake to the M) we had made it nearly 17 miles in and Moab experienced severe heat stroke. His body shut down on him with three miles to go and my partner and I took turns carrying him the three remaining miles on our shoulders. His temp was 107 when we got him to Pet Emergency Trauma Specialists/Bridger Veterinary Specialists.

As a student, I do not have the means to pay for Moab's treatment. He has been my rock since the moment I got him as a pup. I need him just as much as he needs me, and seeing him in poor health is killing me. I need to be there for him, but right now I need help doing that.
