Scarlett is a 11 year old American Cocker Spaniel in Brighton, CO, who needs $5,000 for Balloon Dilation Treatment.

I was nine years old, my Mom got her up in Wyoming as a gift because I fell in love with her online. We’ve been together for 11 years, she is 11 years old. And she has been with me through it all, when both of my parents passed away, when we had to move, through elementary, middle school, high school, through college and so on. She is and will forever be my best friend.

She has had a lot of problems but always got through them, and she still acts like a puppy. At the moment she had a dental surgery gone wrong, and she got a stricture in her throat which had closed up her throat to 6mm. I knew something was wrong with her throat, but no one believed me. Until one did finally. And now she is getting multiple balloon dilation treatments.

She is my best friend, though she does love a bunch of others. She is a huge fan of toys and will roll onto her back so she can hold her toy in her paws, she also loves rolling on her ball, it’s so adorable. She is also one of the sweetest dogs, she has never bitten anyone unless it was self defense or playfully. She has a lot of nicknames one being Wiggles because she wags her stub so often.

At the moment I am going back and forth between houses and I could get kicked out, I am a college student, I have a work study job but nothing else at the moment. Also I am carpooling with my girlfriend, I do not have a working car so I would like to give back to her as well
