Shy is a 4-year-old Lab in Livingston, MT, who needs $2,000 for wound closure.

When the mother of Bella, our other dog died from a stroke, Bella got doggie depression bad. So, when a friend of mine's, dog had puppies, I thought it might help cheer up, our sad dog. Not only did it help our dog's depression, it helped both of our children that have mental illness to feel better again!

Shy is our neighborhood watch dog. When the neighbor's dog barks, she jumps to the back of the couch, and checks for sketchy plastic bags. Spring time, you can find Shy outside planting her plastic sharks in a row, just like she sees the neighbors planting their flowrrs. Summer time she has her kiddie pool, that she loves to play in. Every night for walks, she meets you and twirls at the door.

My husband broke his right ankle, and tore his pcl in his left knee, got a blood clot and ruptured a baker's cyst, which caused him to lose his job. He finally gets to go back to work at the end of the month

My son was taking shy for a car ride, when he gets home shy gets out of the car, and is brutally attacked by another dog. After taking her to the vet and getting antibiotics we thought our problems were over, turns out they'd just begun. Shy ended up going septic, with her organs shutting down, she is such a brave little girl, but will still need ongoing surgeries from pets emergency

Our little "watch" dog hides behind you and barks at any intruder. Unless it's us at the door, then she's on the pool table. The neighbor's dog patiently waits at Shy's door ever night for their walks. Her friend misses her terribly. Shy, is more than a dog, she is family. The local McDonalds knows shy's standard order for her ice cream.
