Mystique is a 5-year-old Great Dane in Binghamton, NY, who needs $1,200 for Gastric Dilatation Volvulus and Gastropexy.

Mystique is a 5 year old Great Dane. She was a 4th birthday gift to my son in 2017. She was 3 months old when we purchased her. I've wanted a puppy for many many years. We waited until we bought our house to get a puppy so the pup could have all the space they deserved. She is a very healthy, spunky, loving pup. She loves making new friends, & knows the whole neighborhood and all the mail carriers

Mystique is 1 of 7 fur babies in this home. She gaurds all her siblings, both 4 legged and 2 legged. Her favorite place to sleep is either in my bed or mainly my son's bed. She loves going for walks on the nature trails and playing tag with her puppy friends at the puppy park. She is currently teaching her baby sister how to be a good girl. She's trained to be off leash.

Mystique is a snow puppy. Every winter she has to be outside work my son, sticking her face in the snow and rolling around.
She is also my service dog for PTSD, depression, anxiety, and panic disorder associated with agoraphobia.
She helps ground me and bring my heart rate back down when I am in crisis.

Mystique was diagnosed with stomach torsion at 5pm on 06/11/2022. We called all the local vet's in Broome County, and with her symptoms, they all recommended that we go to Cornell Animal Hospital. We drove as fast as we could and got her there in time to be saved. We managed to scrounge up $800 as a down payment for her to be able to get surgery.

We are currently a one income household with my income being the only one. I work 40+ hours a week, but only get paid bi-weekly. Between all of my bills and food, I can not afford to pay her while medical bill at once like they want.
