Sam Spade is a 4 month old Australian Shepherd in Rockland, ME, who needs $2,000 for Spay Complicated by Heart Condition.

I adopted Sam from my neighbor's granddaughter. She came into our home on June 13th at just 8 weeks old and has become a wonderful addition to our family! Her brought Oskar (age 13) has actually come to love her very much and enjoys her companionship.

At our first meeting with our vet, the doctor noticed a heart murmur. She suggested a cardiologist.
Dr. MacGregor at Portland Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Care diagnosed Sam with tretology of fallot, a very serious heart condition, and recommended she be spayed as soon as possible to alleviate further heart stresses.

Sam is playful, loving, and full of life! She is a wonderful pup and a joy to have in our family! She loves people and other dogs, and is always wanting to be friends. I hope to have Sam in our family for many years.

The cost for the spay surgery is about $3000 because of the heart issue. She will need special anethesiologist and an additional machine to provide oxygen to her blood. Any help is appreciated. I plan to get the surgery this month in any case but any donations would help.
