Olivia is a 4-year-old Grand Pyrenees in Landenberg, PA, who needs $1,000 for heart worm treatment.

In January 2021 Olivia(formerly known as Momma) was surrendered to a city kill shelter when her owner could no longer care for her. By the time he came to the heartbreaking decision, Olivia had already been neglected and had unknown health issues. When her foster parents spotted her she was skin and bones, soaking wet from the hoses used in the small cramped cages and seemed to have lost hope.

Olivia is starting to settle in. She fits right in with my pack of adopted dogs and cats. She is mellow and kind, but has mobility issues that limit her ability to go on walks and play. Slowly she is gaining strength and hoping with proper nutrition and gentle exercise she will be able to enjoy long walks and play in my large yard with her new family.

My companion Noah, a black lab, collapsed suddenly, and needed an MRI to determine his situation. The cost was 4,000.00 and Olivia's medical needs have left me broke, and I need help to continuing helping her

Heartworms have zapped her strength, and she has significant muscle wasting, possibly as a result of past confinement? A recent test shows that she does Not have degenerative myelopathy, so after she regains strength it will give us a better understanding of the steps needed to help her mobility.

If you look into Olivia's eyes, you can't help but see her kindness and old soul. She deserves a wonderful life, as the depth of her love is evident to all. Her calming influence can be felt by those who meet her, both people and animals. I would love to see her thrive, and helping her feel better will give her that opportunity.
