Stori is a 2 year old German Shepherd Dog in Salem, SC, who needs $2,000 for Critical Support, Hospitalization, and Monitoring.

My dad found Stori when she was just a puppy. Small enough to fit in the palm of your hands. It was 5 or 6 in the morning and he was on the way to work. She was in the middle of the road and he almost hit her. He guesses that someone threw her out of the car because the tip of her tail was missing all the fur, she was bleeding and a little beaten up. That's where the name Stori comes from!

Stori has been at Fetch Specialty & Emergency Veterinary Centers since May 26th (my birthday). She started off just not wanting to eat or drink a whole lot. That quickly turned into not eating or drinking at all. On that Monday, we found a large puddle of blood on the kitchen floor and rushed her to the emergency vet Her intestines were extremely inflamed, and she was severely dehydrated.

She is the most friendly and goofy dog I have ever had the privilege of knowing. She is always running to greet us when we get home, some would say a little too excitedly. She is best friends with the other three dogs in the house and even the cats seem to love her. She likes to sit on her butt and she loves to be upside down whether she is sleeping, playing or just hanging out.

Since dropping her off, we have spent nearly $13,000 that we, in all honesty, did not have. With the surgery, housing, medications etc. we are very quickly reaching our financial cap. She is everything to all of us and I will do anything to not give up on her.
