Priscilla is a 7-year-old Rat Terrier in Dallas, TX, who needs $180 for Flea & Heartworm Prevention.

I adopted Priscilla back in 2014 from a family that rescued her from a neighbor that had been severely beating her. I have Crohn's Disease and was recommended by my doctor to get a small companion dog. Due to my health condition, I am on a fixed disability income. Priscilla is the love of my life. When I adopted her she was very nervous, but now we are 100% inseparable!

Priscilla and I live alone in a studio apartment here in Dallas. Her absolute favorite activity is riding along with me in the car. She also loves going on long walks on the walking trails in our community. No matter where I go in our little apartment, she is always right next to me! Bedtime is a joy having her snuggle up next to me.

I have been on social security disability income for about 3 years now. It has been very challenging to save up enough money every month after bills to pay for routine veterinary care. Priscilla has been a life saver for me. I need her here with me as long as possible.

Priscilla has not been on heartworm or flea medication for several years now. A few months ago she had been vomiting for three days. I noticed parasites in her feces. The veterinarian said that she needs to be put back on Sentinel Spectrum in order to prevent fleas, heartworms, etc. This was a VERY scary time because I could not figure out why she was so sick.

Priscilla is an absolute sweetheart. She is a lover - not a fighter! She aims high in her perceived needs to please me. I talk to her all the time (just as I would another human); she tilts her head in curiosity and lets me know that she is really focusing on my words... It's SO adorable! Whenever she senses that I am stressed, she likes to give kisses on my arm or cheek.
