Reifley is a 8 year old Dutch Smoushond in Taylorville, IL, who needs $1,200 for Surgically Removing Bladder Stones.

Reifley showed up on our doorstep 6 years ago. She had run away from a bad living situation, and after I got a hold of the previous family they agreed to let us keep her. She was very neglected before she lived with us and she had some anxiety issues and she couldn't be left alone the first year or so, but we worked through them and she is a completely different dog today.

Reifley started having some issues going to the bathroom, and after testing and an x-ray, we found she has 3 very large bladder stones. The vet said it would take too long to try to dissolve them so out only option is surgery. She is usually a very healthy dog and I hate seeing her in pain like this. After her surgery the vet expects she will make a complete recovery and only need a special diet.

Reifley lives with one other dog , 3 cats, and 3 kids. She absolutely loves cats and gets so excited when she gets to meet a new cat. She is a very goofy girl. She loves car rides, going on walks and getting to meet new people. She also loves squeaky toys and will not stop until she gets the squeaker inside. She is a very lovey girl also and she loves cuddling up with her adopted siblings.

We normally live paycheck to paycheck, and recently we have had unexpected expenses. My husband was very recently diagnosed with cancer. He is the main earner in the house and he has had to take off 4 weeks from work to have a surgery to remove the tumor.
