Looking for a pet to support?

Tallulah

Tallulah is a 8-year-old Catahoula in Vancouver, WA, who needs $1,295 for Mast Cell Tumor removal.

Vancouver, WA

I recently lost my apartment, I’m on disability and food stamps. I have a permanent medical condition and Tallulah is my therapy dog for my hearing loss and depression. She was diagnosed with a Mast Cell Tumor and needs surgery to remove it and find out how cancerous it is. Tallulah is 8 years old and still healthy otherwise. Tallulah and I live with another dog that we rescued. I recently became homeless due to the cost of living increase and my medical needs for monthly doctors appointments and prescriptions. She’s my life, I have co close friends or support as I am socially isolated due to the illness. Tallulah is my companion also my ears because I am very hard of hearing. Without her I am lost. We have been together for 8 years. Tallulah is so very smart and we learned a lot from each other. We did lots of obedience and some dog sports early on in her life. Since then she’s so wonderfully synced with me. She’s a prescribed therapy dog by my doctor for depression. I couldn’t imagine life without her. She’s very much an athletic dog still. Every moment of my day she is with me. Up until now Tallulah has been healthy, she’s fully vaccinated and spayed. I became homeless because I’m on disability and it’s not enough to pay for food, medicine, medical bills for an autoimmune disease and depression, and rent. I’m currently trying to figure out where and how to live after this. Tallulah a week ago was seen for several lumps. One was tested positive for Mast Cell tumor. The vet wants to remove the mast cell tumor and some other lumps to send out for a diagnoses by a histopatholgist to diagnose and find out what grade the tumor is, and if it was all taken out by margins. We have an appointment scheduled for 4/21/22.

Bella

Bella is a 7-year-old Labrador Retriever who needs $2,000 for TPLO surgery.

Bella is 7 yrs old and has been part of the family since she was 8 wks old. She is a blessing to me and my children. She was our protector in a bad living environment till we could get out safely and start over. She is an emotional support animal for myself, my kids who suffer from anxiety and depression. She knows when something is wrong and how to calm you and make you fell safe and loved. Bella wants to be around you at all times. She sleeps in my bed or with one of the kids. She loves swimming if there is water she is in it, shes love to play fetch but only with a tennis ball. She plays chase and tug a war with Oakley as much as possible. She is always happy and seems to smile. Unfortunately being hurt has made most of these things impossible for her to enjoy lately. Bella’s best friend and adopted brother is Oakley. They have a special bond. They play and love each other but Bella is he rock. He suffers from separation anxiety. When she isn’t around he has panic attacks. He cries uncontrollably, paces and pants till she returns. Bella love everyone she doesn’t know a stranger. Her favorite chew is an elk antler, she love to speak when you talk to her. Bella injured her leg in the last snow storm slipping on her way outside. After 6 weeks of medicine, she is still in pain and can’t put weight on her back leg. The next step was X-rays, where Dr. Lyle found out she has a torn CCL and requires surgery to fix. The surgery will cost 3500.00 plus aftercare at Crest Animal Hospital. I am a single mom with two kids who already struggles financially. It breaks my heart that I don’t have the funds to give Bella the relief she needs and deserves. She has always been there when we needed her most and I am desperately trying to do the same for her.

Mango

Mango is a 2-month-old Beagle who needs $1,800 for Parvovirus Treatment.

I currently live with Mango in my studio apartment in Maryland. It has only been a week since I have rescued him but boy has it been a roller coaster! I found him through a friend who could not afford to take care of him and it turns out he has Parvovirus, which is costing a fortune. Mango was happy and energetic the past couple days I had him and he suddenly declined. Mango is sweet to people and is very curious of the world. He is a very smart dog and listens well. Although he is young, he is already showing signs of understanding my direction. He is a very intelligent dog and is a curious one. I cannot wait to introduce him to my friends and their furry friends! Mango is a pocket beagle, a breed not a lot of people find today, so I wanted to take him in and give him a happy life, but he is going through a handful of health problems right now. Mango likes to jump around a lot and whimper to get my attention. When I talk back to him, he barks back at me and it's as if we are having a conversation. Every 2 hours he will ask me to pick him. He is my baby. He currently is in Friendship Hospital for Animals in Washington, DC. Dr. Cleaver is currently in charge of him. 202-695-7335 Mango has been vaccinated and dewormed. I was surprised to learn that he has caught parvovirus. I am very sad! He was so energetic and happy, he suddenly became ill. I did my best keeping him indoors because he is still so young. Mango has to have the treatment at this hospital for the next 3-4 days or he will pass away. Because he is so young, I am hopeful he will come out of this. He has a good spirit so I know he will fight it through. We have only been together for week but he is my baby.

Kaisa

Kaisa is a 3-year-old Rottweiler Mix who needs $2,000 for TPLO surgery.

Kaisa was found down in Georgia in 2018 on the side of a highway. She was skin and bones, terrified of life and clearly thrown away. I drove down to Georgia and picked her up, drove her back to MI where she resides now and has for the last 2 years. She lives with two other dog friends and has come so far from the life she once knew. Kaisa has come out of her shell each year passing. Kaisa is a very goofy girl, she’s also very lazy but loves to chase anything willing to run from her. Kaisa will snuggle all day or hike in the woods anytime. She likes to make sure the house stays quiet and the other dogs behave so we call her the doggie referee. Not a single aggressive none in her body! Kaisa is very special to me because the same year I got her I lost my Mom. After losing my Mom that’s when someone had posted her and something drew me in, so I packed the car and brought her home. She’s needed me like I’ve needed her, she’s put her trust into me and she’s always there when I’m upset or crying. She makes a great emotional support dog Kaisa needs TPLO surgery, which in the human world is a torn ACL She has been evaluated by a few Drs. We tried crate rest, medications, therapy but unfortunately the leg is damaged pretty badly so she needs a full surgery to repair the leg. She will need some physical therapy after and atleast 3 months of crate rest after Since losing my Mom I had to take on the responsibility of taking care of my younger siblings. I do work full time and currently picked up a part time job but it never seems like enough. I would sell everything I own to save my animals, I always put them above myself

Kona

Kona is a 4-year-old Rottweiler who needs $2,000 for Pyometra

My dog's name is Kona. Kona means "lady "in Hawaii and my children loved the name so we decided to name her Kona. We went to a farm with my brother in law to check out baby Rottie for him. We saw Kona. The owner said she was too tiny and may not survive. She was the only tiny one and we fell in love with her immediately. We decided to keep her. Kona is a very active and playful girl. she protects my kids and now granddaughter. She loves to stare outside the window and bark at everyone and any animal. She is so loving and loves attention. Kona plays and interacts with all my children all the time. She is a very loving girl and our children are in love with her. Kona is very special to us in every way. She protects our home. She is always pushes her head to you so you can pet her. She always pushes your legs and lays underneath you. She is full of love. We love her! Kona is very aware of his surroundings and likes to protect her home. She is our pride and joy! Kona started feeling sick after her heat cycle. She stopped playing around and being active as usual. She starting vomiting and she would just lay down. She started discharging brown liquid and did not eat. She took her to a animal hospital as it was late at night to get checked and evaluated. She has pyometra and needs surgery right away. We decided to take her to Vet for Pet for surgery. I have a full-time job but have so many costs and I am hurting financially. Our household was positive with covid and my husband lost his job. We are trying to catch up on many bills and now we are trying to save our baby. It means the world to us to see Kona well and happy.

Princess (Kitty)

Princess (Kitty) is a 15-year-old Longhair tuxedo who needs $1,000 for Removal of cyst. Would require surgery..

Princess was homeless kitten. We got her when my daughter was in kindergarten. Now Emily’s in college. Kitty is very loved and spoiled by mom and sister. Kitty as we call her lives with Reno (dog) and sister Eleanor (cat) sister Emily, brother, mom and dad. Kitty is non social and is happy by herself. She always has a grumpy look on her face but loves being petted and loved. Kitty’s ideal place to be is either in Emily‘s bed or in moms room sleeping in a ball all curled up. She doesn’t play very much but on occasion she’ll find her Wolfe toy and play. She’s older now and loves to sleep most of the time. She doesn’t care for her cat sister Eleanor or brother dog Reno. But, learned to live with them but she’s not happy about it. Emily and mommy are always loving her. Princess has grown up with my kids. She’s been to every event in our lives including moving to other homes. She always looks moody and it funny to hear her make noises that she bothered by her animals siblings. She has a way of looking at you to make you get out of bed and get her water in the middle of the night. Princess goes to Shiloh animal Hospital for treatment of a huge cyst. She’s always been healthy until last year. They did a biopsy but they want to remove the cyst and check to see if it is anything to be worried about. She keeps on licking it and making it bleed all over. We had to put a cone on her to stop her from licking it. It leaks fluid all over and it’s getting bigger. Mom has a health issue that puts a strain on the financial situation. There’s a family of four it’s a struggle for every day needs. Adding a cost of removal of a cyst gives added stress and concern and heart break. She’s in good health and has more years ahead.

Reno

Reno is a 13-year-old Min pin who needs $2,000 for See the cardiologist before removal of cyst. They want to test his heart before removal. Reno needs special surgeon to remove the cyst because it’s around his knee..

Reno was a rescue from the SPCA. He was a surrender from former owner because he was bullied from bigger dogs. Reno was lucky, he was adopted the same day he was brought in. He was in a cage and digging to China to get out! We thought that was so funny so we asked to see him. We fell in love with him right away! Reno has a two cat sisters Princess (Kitty) and Eleanor. They really don’t care for him very much because he loves to bother them by chasing them and yelling at them in dog language. Reno also has a brother,(Christopher) sister, (Emily) mommy (Amy)and daddy. (Mike) Reno loves to eat treats and beg for people food. Daddy gives in to give too much! His favorite thing is his bed and Blankey‘s! Reno loves going outside in the yard and barking at the neighbors. On a sunny day he loves getting into the grass and rubbing himself all over and rolling around. He goes nuts when the smoke alarm chirps to get a new battery, and if your phone gets a notification. Reno is always cold so he always has a shirt on. He looks so cute wearing his pajamas! Reno went to Shiloh animal hospital to get his big cyst on his knee tested. It was benign so we left them alone. But Reno kept licking it and needed to go back in again. He was always crying too. They tested his blood before anything because he’s an older dog. Reno has a heart condition and low sugar. He needs a heart specialist before trying to remove this. That will cost $800.00 and up. Money has been tight for a long time since mom (Amy) has health problems herself since bone marrow transplant. Only dad works and has had to change jobs. Reno is very loved and we would do anything to keep him with us. But the cost has us concerned. We love him.

Freckles

Freckles is a 8-month-old Cockalier who needs $2,000 for Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt.

Freckles came to us completely by surprise and happy accident. After we moved to a smaller house in a smaller town, we woke up to a litter of puppies. The dog who birthed them is a senior dog, and Freckles was born with genetic hydrocephalus, even though there is none in her family tree. She spends her days sleeping on a big dog bed in our bedroom. While Freckles enjoys having the bedroom to roam during the day, she has a cozy house at night so she doesn’t hurt herself. She loves to snuggle with our big old St Bernard mix in the mornings, but gets anxious around lots of movement. The kids love her and she is calm and patient when they love on her. Freckles is more cat than dog a lot of the time. She makes no noises outside of happy groans when I rub her ears, and she circles my feet when I stand near her. She’s never happy to give up pets and will continue to rub on me if I stop. She also spreads kibble all over the floor when she eats and turns the floor into a crunchy minefield! 400 characters is not enough to convey how desperately I want to get help for Freckles. She will require a shunt to drain fluid from her brain, and is on constant meds for pneumonia since she aspirates when she eats. Dr Brady at Shenandoah Animal Hospital has given her wonderful loving care, and we hope he can help make her life whole. I stay home with two young kids, and have been facing health problems of my own stemming from my disabled veteran status. If it is between fixing me or fixing Freckles, the choice is easy. I cannot get insurance for her since it is deemed a preexisting condition.
