Smudge is a 7 year old Anatolian Shepherd Dog in Bellingham , WA, who needs $2,000 for Possible Poisoning - Exam and Blood Work.

Smudge was gifted to us by a friend at 8wks old. He is an anatolian shepard. He is family my son's call him brother and bestfriend. He is my fur baby, he has a sister also Iris. She joined our family a year later. We are a well bonded unit. Smudge had become an ESD comforting us when in need. Never leaving our side until he is sure we felt better. We are currently displaced from our home.

As mentioned we are displaced from our home for safety issues, Smudge and sister Iris still stay on property they are sheltered and we visit daily, as we escaped an abusive living situation, Smudge became suddenly ill, losing weight dangerously to the point he is very thin weak and lost so much fur his back side is bald. We do not yet know what the diagnosis is as there are no funds for vet help

Smudge love to sit and have heart to hearts as he took on the emotional support roll on his own, he lives to snuggle and hug. Smudge loves to wash his face, haha steal a wash cloth at any chance he get, happily using it to clean his face! He is also very protective of every family member, on walks he would herd the kids through the trails a job he took seriously keeping kids on path if they stray.

I'm a single mom going through divorce leaving a abusive situation. I was a stay at home mom with health issues of my own. My 2 boys and I are waiting on housing, financially pressed. We are on the mend and recovering but did not expect Smudge to fall ill, please help him.
