Specks is a 1-year-old Blue Heeler in Brooklyn park , MN, who needs $2,000 for testing and diagnostics.

We got Specks up north from a farm after we adopted our 5th and 6th children (our niece and nephew). Our previous puppy passed in the ER due to a sickness after eating a poisoned mouse! It was an awful and sad time for all of us, especially our kids. We also have a large breed Canario that has had Lymes disease since she was a puppy and now severe arthritis and blind. The kids named him Specks.

You will never see a dog love children and vice versa more than this boy and our children. He would do anything for them. He takes turns sleeping with all of them. He is soooo loved!
He follows them wherever they go. He loves his big dog sister and cat brother. Our 3 year old adopted daughter hugs him all day.

I lost my job due to Covid and just now back to part time but not good credit to take out loan or apply for payment plan. I emptied all my accounts. I literally have $7 to my name.

It started about a month ago. He started acting strange, and was holding his tail down. If you touch him by the base of his tail, his butt cheeks or his back legs he gets upset and was lethargic and panting . He just lays on kids laps or couch not wanting to do anything. His tail is between his legs, limping and whimpering

He filled a void due to the death of our puppy and our sick older large breed dog. He is our kids life. His tongue hangs out due to his crooked jaw and he follows them everywhere. He takes turns sleeping with each kid and always makes the rounds to all of us to get love and give love. His a silly looking little guy but so loved
