Sapphire is a 8-year-old Jack Russell in Kansas City, MO, who needs $2,000 for Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia.

I've had Sapphire since she was three days old. I left an abusive relationship and was living in my car. It was cold that winter and we kept each other warm. If not for her I don't think I would even be here. She has been my best friend for eight years. We now live in my mom's basement because I help take care of her.

Sapphires always been there to greet me every time I come home from work. She knows my moods and always comforts me when I need it. She doesn't know any strangers she loves everybody. She's always wanted my mom and son's cats to play with her but they wouldn't. So last year I got a kitten and they love each other. But this last month Sapphire hasn't had the energy to play with her anymore.

We may need to do a bone marrow test to see if it's cancer. I'm just not financially able to save my baby girl's life. She is the sweetest thing and I hope with all my heart did I find a way to get her the treatments that she needs. Please help me help her.

A few weeks ago I took so far to see a vet nearby because you wasn't acting like herself she just seemed tired all the time. After the initial examination by Dr Rhodes she suggested blood work because her gums were pale. We hospitalized her over the weekend because she was in need of a blood transfusion. She may need one more blood transfusion in order for her little body to get better.

Sapphires mom was just a baby when she had babies so she was weaned too early. She's always loved her toys I used to put them in a pile and she'd sleep in them. At first I didn't notice it I just wondered why some of them had wet spots. But then she started dragging around a certain bear that became her favorite. It was like her binky and she would suck on it before she went to bed. She still does
