Samantha is a 11 year old Mix-Breed in Sturbridge, MA, who needs $4,000 for Surgery- Removal of Nail Growth and Digit.

We adopted Samantha, known as “Sam,” in 2014 when she was 13 weeks old. She was a rescue. Sam was a challenging puppy. We don’t know what she went through, but she did not trust us and ran off all the time. Sam has grown into the best dog. She has grown to trust and respect us as we do her. Sam has been through so much with me and my kids, and I can't imagine life without her. Sam is family.

A few months ago I noticed that Sam's toenail looked extremely wrong. It is 10 times the normal size and her toe is red and swollen from the nail growth. She cant do the things she love like walks and is in constant pain. I called our vet, and they referred me to VSC of Sturbridge. I have brought Sam here 3 times now for visits, tests and medication. The confirmed that surgery is the only option

Sam is so special to us. She has been in our family for over a decade! It's so crazy that she has grown up with my kids. My son is now 15, and my daughter is 18, who were 3 and 6 when we got Sam. Sam is like one of my children. She loves everyone in our family, always excited to see us and we love her so much! Sam loves going for walks, rides, and just spending time with the family.

The estimate for Sam’s surgery is $4,000. I would have to take out a loan to cover this expense. If Sam could walk without pain, it would mean so much to me and my family. I know that one day I will be able to pay this forward. Thank you for reading my post. God Bless.
