About this campaign

Hurricane Ida's fury left a trail of heartbreak, death, and destruction in its path for so many, including Madison S. Now, she and her dog Pearl need your help.

When the storm struck, Madison grabbed her dogs and fled their home. "We left Louisiana and came to Texas because we didn’t have electricity, water, or gas," Madison tells Waggle. But soon after they thought they were safe in the Lone Star State, another disaster struck; during all the commotion of moving, Pearl and her doggie brother managed to eat Advil pills, which can be very dangerous, even deadly for dogs.

"They were rushed to the hospital and are currently being treated for poisoning. They are at Austin Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center. I wish I would have never left, or this wouldn’t have happened," Madison says.

Pearl's treatment is expensive, and Madison is panicking because she can't afford it. "I am out of work right now due to most of Louisiana has no electricity and is damaged," she says. "Pearl is my child. I would do anything to have her healthy again."

Madison originally rescued Pearl, with her adorable ears, from The Louisiana SPCA. "She was so excited when she saw us through the window," Madison says. "We knew she was the one. Pearl is our little diva. She is the sweetest dog I’ve ever met. She is a people person. She loves everyone and everything. She has a great personality. She is loving, sassy, and such a happy dog."

Please help Madison save Pearl so they can start getting their lives back on track after the hurricane.
