Nya is a 12 year old Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois) in Dallas, TX, who needs $1,750 for Splenectomy.

We brought Nya home from Foster care about 12 years ago. She lives in our home with our 2 year old German Shepard. She's taken the role of the Alpha over our German Shepard Dolly, and their cousin who frequently visits for play dates, Rosie. My family shares a soft spot for Anya as she’s an important member of our family since the day we brought her home.

Problems started about a month ago, including things like vomiting, choosing not to eat her food, or generally being picky about food she usually enjoyed in the past. After a vet visit with normal blood work we took her home. 2 weeks later she started to choose to not eat. Continued vomiting and diharrea. We brought her to the vet again for x-rays to discover a large mass on her spleen.

Our Nya was raised by our former cat as a puppy, giving her goofy, cat-like tendencies growing up. She enjoyed cuddling, chasing squirrels in our back yard, acting as our trusted alternative doorbell. Shes afraid of thunder but fearlessly barks at the TV when something catches her eye. Nya helped raise our German Shepard, Dolly, and even taught her to bark at all the odd things she chooses bark at

This came as an unexpected expense where I have no savings and am unable to provide any funds for emergency care with my current finances to help Nya with surgery, treatment, or pallatative care.
