Sapphire -Ja’zelle is a 4 year old Labrador Retriever in Charlotte , NC, who needs $1,800 for Surgical Stabilization Techniques.

Sappy was a present I wasn’t expecting. She was rescued from living outside at a farm in Virginia by my daughter. I am a Nurse who cares for the senior community. During COVID-19 I witnessed so many patients suffering/ dying. If it had not been for Sapphire who was and remains my emotional support. I don’t think I would have made it through the devastation. Sappy rescued me,

Sappy was using the bathroom in the yard on 9/18/24 at 4:45am prior to me starting my am shift, unexpectedly she rolled down a hill which caused Pelvic Ligament Rupture Injury. It really frightened me…I thought I was going to lose my baby!She is now a patient of Rachel Liebelt DVM at Care Hospital in Charlotte.

Sappy is really my Granddog but my daughter understands I love her so much and she’s not getting her back! Sappy is so loving she comes to anyone carrying her dog food and places it in your hands. Her nickname is mama because she tries to take care of everyone especially babies ( human/ animals) She doesn’t meet a stranger! She smiles constantly even in her sleep. She is something amazing !

I am a Single Lady who works long hours. Previously I just returned to work from having Vein Surgery to alleviate the pain from so many yrs. Of prolonged standing. I have over $15,000 of medical bills I’m struggling financially making payments.
