Sammy is a 7 year old Dachshund in Alpharetta , GA, who needs $2,000 for Brain Tumor Surgery.

Sammy, my sweet chiweenie, is my heart wrapped in fur who was our foster fail. This playful, gentle soul is my rock, curling close with a wagging tail, offering comfort to every rescued and fostered dog who’s crossed our path.

Since May, my brave boy’s been fighting a silent battle that shatters me. What started as shoulder and neck pain revealed a meningioma—a brain tumor at Alpharetta Veterinary Specialty & Emergency. It’s not spreading, yet it grows, stealing his steady gait, clouding his mind with confusion, and triggering seizures that dim his joyful spirit.

Sammy's big, trusting eyes—shining in the photos where he rests so gently on my lap or snuggles under a blanket—have carried me through endless days as a kidney patient. He is the most well-mannered and sweetest boy you would have ever met. One look at Sammy, and his quiet charm steals your soul forever.

I’ve emptied my soul and savings—$8,000—into Sammy’s care, including an MRI to uncover his pain. I’ve poured my life into rescuing animals, even through my own health battles as a kidney patient. But the costs for his surgery and radiation stretch beyond my reach.
