Nitka is a 13-year-old Alaskan Malamute in Mount Vernon, WA, who needs $2,000 for an MRI scan.

I got Nitka when she was 3 months old, after getting her sister Redinka. And falling in love with her personality. Unfortunately I had to put Redinka to sleep at 3 years old, do to instestinal cancer. Nitka has her kennel mate/bff, Bandit(A rescue) who is in pictures with her. He is lost without her around him. If he can't find her, he will run around searching until he does. Then he is all wiggly and smiles. Nitka loves to do anything with mom. We used to go on trail walks, and swimming. Yet now she can't walk more then a few blocks, and she won't swim. She just wades around in the water. Nitka is severely loved by my son, and all of his friends, that grew up with her.
