Zoe Khan is a 12-year-old Labrador Retriever in Fife, WA, who needs $4,000 for Laryngeal Tie back .

Zoe is my beautiful Labrador Retriever. We live in Washington state with two other of her siblings. Zoe is the eldest of them all and is my all. We moved to Washington from Texas for cooler weather and and a new beginning. I believe she is enjoying the weather. We can’t go on long walks due to her mobility concerns but I take her in the car for her long car rides.

Zoe is so full of love. My goodness, she has such a calm temperament. She loves to be pet, she loves her belly to be pet. Her eyes truly talk and I’ve learned so much from here. As she is getting older, she’s not as mobile so I help her get up and get in the car for their car rides. Look at Zoe once and you’ll see the love in her eyes for you.

My job doesn’t pay enough for me to afford such an expensive surgery. I am working as much over time as possible and saving every penny I get, but I fall short due. For Zoe not to gasp for air and not be sedated will mean more than anything I will ever want and need.

Zoe was diagnosed with laryngeal paralysis. I have to keep her calm and sedated, especially during the evening hours where she gets anxious and starts her gasping which breaks my heart. I hear it during the late hours of the night and immediately get up from bed and sleep right next to her so she gets calm again. Her hind legs are losing muscle which makes her mobility difficult at times.

Zoe is special in so many ways. The look on her face, with her eyes talking to you, when you bring her food, her mouth starts salivating all the time which is so cute. She loves sticks and will take them from you. She loves water and where there’s a pool, she will jump in and stay in. I remember a time where my friend brought an outdoor pool for his dog and Zoe, she stayed in it for hours.
