Poppy is a 7 year old Pug in Woodbridge, CT, who needs $2,000 for Bladder Stone Surgery.

We met Poppy when she was only 3 months old. A former friend of mine had gotten her, but when he decided to move on, she stayed with my son and I. She was just over a year old at that point, and quickly became the love of our lives. She is our best friend and sleeps in bed with me every night. My son is almost 13 now and loves his "Poppers" so much.

Poppy started exhibiting UTI symptoms, first blood in urine and then not able to produce urine. We ended up at an ER vet and with another UTI diagnosis and antibiotics. 5 days later she was still exhibiting symptoms so off to Shore Haven Vet for follow up and blood work. Another week later, back for imaging which revealed bladder stones. Stones are out for testing and surgery is recommended now.

Poppy has this innate ability to just know when you need her to come up and cuddle with you. She is the best snuggler you could ever ask for. She loves to join us "at work" resting her head on my work laptop and my son's school laptop. It may be harder to type that way, but makes the time so much more enjoyable. She loves to play tug of war and loves pets from absolutely everyone!

I'm a single mom, who has been struggling for some time. Cost of living keeps rising but without comparable wage raises, my rent has also increased. I have spent 1400 to make sure we had all the proper testing, but have no way to make up all that we need for the surgery
