Trinity is a 6-year-old Boxer/Lab in Fairbanks, AK, who needs $1,900 for Surgical Hematoma Repair and Post-Care.

One Christmas 6 years ago, Trinity came to me at 6 weeks old, the runt of the litter and unwanted. Our family likes to tell me I saved her, but the reality is she saved me. We have been living together every since that Christmas day, in Fairbanks, Alaska. I fell on hard times and do my best to provide for her, sacrificing sometimes myself in order to make her as comfortable and happy as possible.

Trinity is extremely loving with everyone in the household and out in public. She has the most genuinely happy and outgoing personality. She loves to make sure everyone is okay, if you're sitting still for too long she will be sure to come over for some pets and loving. She is my sunshine every day and is always sure to make me smile through play and pets.

Recently, my gallbladder exploded. I passed out from the rupture. My life was saved by Trinity, who woke me up in time to call 911. I underwent surgery, and now have bills I can't pay for myself. She saved my life, all I want now is for her life to be what she deserves.

For the past few weeks Trinity had been shaking her head. I felt horrible for her but had no money to pay for help. Her ear couldn't take it anymore and expanded to the size of a baseball. Not knowing what could be done, I drove to Chena Veterinary Clinic, where they accepted Trinity for care, knowing they would not receive payment. They preformed emergency surgery on her ear, and follow up care.

Trinity's facial expressions are priceless. She uses her eyebrows and smile to tell me what she's thinking. She is so bright, literally she can open doors. Sometimes, she sits and watches the world, appearing very wise and omniscient. Her ways of communicating and living bring such joy to my heart, and to everyone who crosses her path.
