Sandy

Sandy is a 13-year-old Beagle in South Plainfield, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Mastectomy .

South Plainfield, NJ

My family brought Sandy from the shelter when I was 3 years old. We have been together for 13 years so far. We also have other pets including two chickens and a rabbit. I decided to name my dog Sandy because my favorite tv show was Spongebob Squarepants and Sandy reminded me of Sandy Cheels because of her fur color. Sandy likes to sleep on her bed, on the living carpet, or at the fuzzy stairs, we have at home. Besides sleeping, she also likes to run and jump around even with her lump, which makes me often worried about her safety. She also likes to take walks to the park and sniff around for anything new. She is always craving attention and if you stop petting her she would stare until you pet her again. Due to COVID-19, our family had to lose work and as a result of that we cannot afford the medical expenses needed to treat Sandy. We wish for Sandy to be healthy again so that she can go play without the fear of having the mass being ruptured. Sandy has a tumor-like mass on her mammary gland, and in December we noticed a little lump but we didn't think it was something serious until it grew each month and we knew that something is wrong. At the vet, the veterinarian told us that besides the mass on her body, she also found a heart murmur which added even more worries. Sandy is afraid of thunder though she wouldn't bark, she just wants to be cuddled until the thunderstorms past. Sandy is very peculiar because she would get bored with her chew toys very easily but she loves to play tag with my younger siblings and have mini races to see who is the fastest. Sandy dislikes water and would stay inside to avoid getting wet and watch the kids inside from the window.

NateDawg

NateDawg is a 11-year-old American Shorthair in Des Moines, IA, who needs $600 for Mass removal and biopsy.

des moines, IA

Nathaniel is a rescue that was wandering around my friends house. He was cold and scared so I took him in with every intention of trying to find his owner. He had a collar mark but no collar. I put up fliers and took him to ARL to see if he had a chip, he did not. He has/does lived a charmed life since and I love him with all of my heart. He has me wrapped around his paw. Nate is home. He is what makes my home, home. He LOVES his butterfly on a wire that flutters and is himself a social butterfly and loves everybody and everybody loves Nate, except his sister GiGi LaMew his Siamese sister whom is a bit above it all. He is sunshine and follows me everywhere I go and loves constant attention. He is like a toddler and gets himself into mischief and can be ornery. I had a multi-level cervical discectomy and fusion a 2 yrs ago that left me permanenty disabled and on SSDI and only able to work less than 20 hours per week and going to be fired in 2 wks if i cant get my production up, which I cannot physically do sooo...I have no savings. Nathiel need surgery to remove a mass near his mammory gland and biopsied. The veternarian to perform his procedure is Dr. Laura Andersen and she is with PetCo THRIVE clinic at 8333 Buffalo Rd in Clive, IA. It is urgent to do this as this can be a very aggressive type of Cancer. Otherwise he is and has been a very healthy boy. Nathaniel James Scott McDonald (when he is in trouble), NateDawg, Nateroid, BoopieKai, puppy....are his nicknames. He responds to them all. He is love, he is gentle loving and kind, he loves to cuddle and be held and one hand wont do when petting him, he expects both. You can see it on his face when I have hurt his feelings or when he is perterbed at me for not getting his way.

Chica

Chica is a 2-year-old Cane Corso in Colorado Springs, CO, who needs $2,000 or ACL surgery.

Colorado Springs, CO

About three years ago our friends came to us and told us that their dogs were having puppies. We were so excited because we were just discussing that we wanted a puppy so I couldn't wait! On November 20th 2018 Chica was born. Due to Mom not feeding her and she was getting trampled on because she was the runt, we got her at 4 weeks old and we were so proud. She went everywhere with us. So Chica is our only puppy she is so spoiled so loved and she loves her daddy and mommy. She goes everywhere with us and she has the best personality. It's like she's almost human she is a great guard dog. She definitely will let you know when someone's there she's very protective. I may just wouldn't know what to do without her. It kills us to see chicken so much pain she needs to be able to run and play she's only going to be two and a half and with us being out of work we don't have the money to pay for it I regret not getting pet insurance but you can bet we're going to do that immediately. So about a year ago chica came home one day and she was limping and we couldn't figure out what was going on we took her to the vet many times got x-rays they said they couldn't see anything wrong over the past year it's just been getting worse she's been in a lot of pain she has a torn ACL in her knee and need surgery as soon as possible because of covid-19 fan out of work so we need help please Everybody knows Chica where we live. She's so special and they all love her. She just goes right into everybody's house - she has a great personality and she's so cute and she smiles. She gives kisses all the time and she gets so excited when you come in you haven't seen her for the day. She makes all these really weird noises she's telling you she loves you and she's happy to see you

Bear

Bear is a 2-year-old Border Collie in Hutchinson, KS, who needs $2,000 for Intestinal Surgery.

Hutchinson, KS

I came across Bear from Heartstrings animal advocates. You see, Bear hasn't only been saved this time, but he has been saved twice before. He came from Amarillo, Texas as his first owners had dumped him. He spent a few months in a shelter there and the day he was suppose to be put down, he got picked up and brought to Kansas. I found him and gave him a safe home. It's been a perfect match since! Bear has been my everything since day one. He has a couple doggie siblings who absolutely adore him. Hes always down to snuggle or play. He is a mommas boy. We have to snuggle every night and hes is there when I'm sad to cheer me up. He loves to play with my boyfriends daughter in the yard chasing and pouncing on her. I have put forth more then I can truly afford, but I am not ready to give up on Bear. Hes is more then I could ask for. I am reaching my limit on what I can give and needing help! Bear only has one downfall. Bear tends to eat things he shouldn't. For some reason Bear loves to eat mulch and sticks. This go around he had a blockage of sticks,grass,and hair. The hair and sticks caused lacerations to his intestine. He is at Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital being treated by Dr. Smith. I consider Bear my emotional support. He provides me the attention I need to help reduce anxiety and depression. He always manages to be dorky to but a smile on your face, weather its blowing bubbles in the pool, climbing on your shoulders, or just sitting next to you watching tv. When we go to the dog park hes the dog that all the dogs want to play with. He has such an amazing personality.

Sophie

Sophie is a 1-year-old Bully mix in Lake Worth, FL, who needs $2,000 for GI surgery.

lake worth, FL

My son and I rescued Sophie from ACC in October 2019 after loosing our Zeus to a prostate cancer tumor that was inoperable. It was a hard choice, but we needed her to heal our hearts. We had Zeus for 9 years and he was a very mellow lazy old guy, so getting Sophie was a breath of spunky fresh air. Sophie was a scared pup. She wanted to only stay in her crate (I'm assuming that's were the people before me kept her) after about 2 months she was more comfortable and began to stay out more often and then took over half my bed at night:-) She has had a good life since coming home with us. My son loves her very much and so is spoiled rotten. I think we all know that 2020 has been a trying year for everyone. I am in the process of moving into another home (that will provide more room for Sophie to run and play) as of right now all my resources are exhausted. I'd be willing to do community service to give back Sophie got into some papayas in the yard. She was sick for a couple of days and then we noticed that she really wasn't eating anymore. We took her to a local clinic and they did X-RAYS and no blockage showed. We took her back this morning because she hadn't improved. Now they say she has a blockage and needs to have surgery to get the blockage removed. Sophie is a wild child to say the least. She loves to be outside and sunbathe. She loves to go for walk and be nosy and sniff everything!! She plays well with kids and is always ready to run in the grass. She does NOT like baths or the pool. She loves to snuggle on rainy days... but beware she SNORES!!

Mahopac NY, NY

Max was found in my backyard he was only 2 months. Now Max is 2 years old. He has become attached to my other two cats. Midnight (female) 13 years old and Peanut (male) 11 years old. I gave my cat the name Max when i found out he was a boy. I named him after my dad that passed away right after I rescued Max from my backyard. Max is friendly, loveable and always happy. He has brought so much joy to my family and my other two cats. My cat Midnight use to be a little anti- social, but when Max arrived she really thought that was her baby. She mothered him and bathe him with her tongue and when it was time to eat she made sure he ate first. I am currently on unemployment due to Covid19. My job is currently closed. I am a Fraud Investigator for the City of New york. I ran out of all my funds. I payed the hospital the last 1500 I had in my bank account. My Max means the world to me he is my baby. Max wasn't acting like himself and I knew that something wasn't right with him. I took him to the vet right away. Max has been diagnosed with Urethral Obstruction he is currently at Guardian Veterinary Specialist Hospital. Located at in Brewster NY, Max is being treated by Dr. Laura Ateca. He is currently in ICU in critical condition. his nurse's name is Mary. Max has so much love in him. He like to get into his house and play peek a boo. Max like to listen to soft elevator music it makes him relax and sleep. When Max wants my attention he meows so loud that I come running thinking he is hurt and he is just sitting down looking at me with his tail wagging from side to side.

Tater Ramos

Tater Ramos is a 8-year-old Deer head chihuahua in Hewitt , TX, who needs $700 for Type 1 canine diabetes.

Hewitt, TX

I rescued Tater at 8 weeks old, at the time I was recovering from a rare blood disease called Guillainbarre Syndrome, my doctor recommended maybe a service animal due to struggling with memory loss. I started training tater immediately teaching him the scents of my medications and letting him smell my mouth at different times. He was able to tell me /remind me to take my medications. This little guy was an amazing blessing, he saved my life in so many ways and now I need help saving his. He was then certified in Dallas as a service dog and so smart that he was certified off leash. It was just us two for a year until I found my now wife. Tater is more than a pet, he is like a child. He is so loving and special. I’m disabled and on a fixed income and with the Covid-19 pandemic my wife’s hours have been cut making staying afloat hard. Tater has brought so much joy to so many people and again has saved my life many times, Keeping him alive and well as long as possible is so important. About 3 months ago, Tater was diagnosed with type 1 canine diabetes and has been put on Vetsulin insulin shots twice a day as well as a prescription food. He has to visit the vet once a week for glucose curve test. The fees have quickly added up with his visits being between $80-$180 each week and medications being about $275 a month which includes the prescription foods. He is my best friend, he has a certain ball that he loves to play with and loves treat time! Tater loves going for walks and hikes but also loves to just sit and cuddle. Due to my health improving and his health declining, I have since retired him as a service dog and he is now just one of our kids.

Captain

Captain is a 2-year-old Domestic short haired in Windermere , FL, who needs $1,665 for Vascular ring anomaly .

Windermere, FL

About 2 years ago my wife Abby and I were leaving work and saw 20 vultures gathered around a tree. I ran over to disperse the vultures thinking that there must be an animal near by. We were right. Out walked a tiny black kitten, tail straight up, headed straight toward me. We were in love instantly. He had a sister that we found as well, so we brought them both home with us. Since rescuing Captain he loves to cuddle. He will follow you around until you stop to pick him up. He also loves going for walks in the stroller, and enjoying the view from our patio. When he was younger and healthier he loved chasing his sister around the apartment! Now he enjoys more stationary things, like lying down and swatting at toys (and his sister). He loves sleeping in bed with us also. This situation with Captain was unexpected. We have been saving money to help with any issues our cats might have, but $9,000 is very much out of our range. We will do anything to keep our Captain alive! He is our world, and we will keep trying everything to help him! After we rescued Captain he was taken in for x-rays because he wasn’t keeping any food down. We were told that something was blocking his throat and there is nothing we can do. It’s 18 months later and he is very ill. He has a vascular ring anomaly, anemia, weighs 3 pounds, and they think he might have muscular dystrophy. He is at UF small animal hospital being treated by Dr. Groover. Captain came into our life as a blessing. I work nights, so he was my wife’s little buddy that kept her safe. He listens to commands like “sit” “shake” and “come”. He is a very smart cat, that never missed catching a bug in our apartment. He honestly is the sweetest animal I have ever met. He also LOVED curling into a little ball and sleeping with us at night.
