Peluche is a 5 year old Border Collie in Merrick , NY, who needs $2,000 for Heartworm Treatment (3 injections), & Doxycycline.

Peluche spent five years in Puerto Rico living chained outside. The chain was his whole world. Food and water were inconsistent, and many days he went without either. He had no real shelter from the heat or rain and little human contact. He spent most days alone, quiet, and forgotten, just surviving and waiting to be noticed.

Peluche recently had bloodwork done at North Shore Animal League in Port Washington, New York. The results showed that he has both Lyme disease and heartworm disease. In addition, his tests revealed high levels of protein in his urine, indicating further health concerns that will require ongoing monitoring and treatment.

Peluche is special because of how loving and devoted he is. He’s very clingy in the best way and always wants to be close to his people. His tail is almost always wagging, especially when he’s happy or getting attention. He listens extremely well and is eager to please, forming strong bonds with family members and showing constant affection and loyalty.

Peluche’s medical needs are more than I can afford right now. Treatment, medications, and follow-up care add up quickly. Support would allow me to focus on helping him heal. Seeing Peluche healthy again would mean giving him the safe, happy life he’s always deserved.
