Oakley

Oakley is a 8-year-old Mixed Breen Dog in Lynchburg, VA, who needs $1,162 for Arthritis/Heart Murmur.

lynchburg, VA

As a freshman in college (Circa 2014), I knew the very first thing I would do once moving out of the dorms was adopting my very own dog. Sure enough, I moved out and within a few short months I found Oakley(formerly named Biscuit) at the Lynchburg Humane Animal Society. He was only two months old at the time, now eight years, and has been by my side ever since. Oakley is by the definition a grumpy old man, who wants nothing more than to be a lazy "front porch" pooch. He thoroughly enjoys cuddles, belly rubs, and long naps. Like many hound breeds, his favorite time of the day is meal time. And he won't let you forget it! Usually ten minutes before mealtime, Oakley can be found nudging me through the house to find his food bowl. Oakley is special to me because he has quite literally been with me through the hardest season's of my life. Over the years Oakley has helped me face poverty, PTSD, pregnancy, child-rearing, and the general day to day stressors. Oakley became my official Emotional Support Animal(ESA) in 2022, and I truly cannot imagine my life without him. Oakley and I went into his annual vet appt this morning to get some xrays done on his hip. We found arthritis, which was expected but still costly and also requires life long treatment and liver monitoring due to the medications required. We also found out that Oakley has a heart murmur. More testing is required to figure out an exact treatment, but the estimated cost....is a lot. The heart murmur was an unexpected diagnosis, and I was not financially prepared for. I want nothing more than to give Oakley the quality of life he deserves. Knowing he is not in pain and able to live out the rest of his life as a happy dog would be a huge burden lifted.

Midnight

Midnight is a Small Domestic cat in Jarrell, TX, who needs $1,100 for a leg amputation.

Jarrell, TX

My daughter found this kitten when it was very small. We have many stray cats in the our area, and sadly we see many on the side of the road. We have a house full with 5 kids, 2 adults, 3 dogs and a cat. Kaylee has always wanted to help animals, and she has tried her best to nurse this animal back to health. We never realized the problem was so serious. Midnight used to be energetic and full of energy, would venture out and interact with the whole family until her leg got worse. Now we rarely ever see her out of her room. She most of the time now and hides under the bed to be away from everything. She is obviously in distress and she is such a sweet animal. COVID 19 has hit us hard. We run a family owned and operated business, but with many customers choosing to isolate many were lost. We are just now catching up with bills when we get this horrible news The cat has developed necrosis of the left humerus head. There is little solid bone mass in the distal humerus at this point but the clavicle has not yet been infected. The origin is unknown and the vet at the Jarrell Animal Hospital says they will only know the cause of the necrosis after sending the detached limb to the lab for analysis. This is Kaylee's baby. Her room is Kaylee's room. They glow when they are together, and it is a beautiful thing to see. They sleep together, eat together, and bath together when the cat can stand it. Kaylee always has scratches from playing games with the cat. When she saw the x-rays and heard what the doctor said she broke into tears and is determined to help her kitty.

Chowder

Chowder is a 15-year-old Maltese Shih Tzu in Los Gatos, CA, who needs $2,000 for Radiation for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Los Gatos, CA

We adopted Chowder (had hernia & needed surgery) when he was 4 months. He enjoys being with the family, follows us around, snuggles near us when we’re in distress. He is very considerate, never complains. He patiently and quietly waits at the door when he needs to potty. He doesn’t whine when he’s in need, I often check when he’s out of sight to make sure he’s OK! We are grateful to have Chowder. Chowder’s “passion” towards food makes us laugh. He would swallow any edible/inedible things. Once he found Advils in our backpack & ate them all! Thank God we found out soon enough to save him. Since then, we put food and any other items up high so it’s unreachable. The one and only one food he would spit out is...celery. It makes us laugh to see his disgusted look when given celery! I work for people with disabilities and am unemployed due to Covid so I can’t afford to treat Chowder. We considered euthanizing, but he shows an intent to live. I plead for your support to help Chowder be well. I’ve never asked for financial help publicly. This is my VERY 1ST TIME. Chowder has squamous cell carcinoma (oral cancer). Dr. Kiselow at Sage Center confirmed that Chowder would suffer significantly, couldn’t eat, be in severe pain, and die in two months. Radiation treatment is the only option that can save him as the tumor location is inoperable. Without treatment, in 2 months he’ll suffer and eventually die. I cry everyday when I think of that. Chowder tilts his head & looks puzzled when he wonders and, sadly now, when in pain. He’s a clueless/innocent dog who doesn’t know to worry. His gaze tells you that he totally trusts you, which touches my heart. Chowder jumps excitedly when he eats. He used to enjoy playing fetch but now with the oral tumor, he catches the toy with joy, then drops it as it’s too painful to play (It breaks my heart).

Alfie

Alfie is a 7 year old British Shorthair in Elk Grove, CA, who needs $8,000 for Cystotomy with HCM-Safe Anesthetic Management.

Elk Grove, CA

Alfie is a beautiful soul we adopted a year and a half ago. We were originally looking for a kitten and had no intention in adopting an adult cat. However, he quickly changed our minds. He had the cutest cheeks and friendliest personality. We knew we had to bring him home. Alfie bonded quickly with the entire household, including his kitty sister, Pippa. He was the best decision we ever made. Recently, our lives were turned upside down when Alfie was diagnosed with a large bladder stone that requires surgical removal. Prolonging treatment risks painful urinary obstruction, which can be deadly. To make things even more difficult, he also has HCM, a heart condition that requires specialized care. The estimated cost of surgery at VCA Loomis Basin Veterinary Specialists is around $8000. Alfie adores music and loves to lie by the piano while it's being played in our home. He is also very patient—even with the tiniest of little humans who are far from gentle. He doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body. Everyone who comes in contact with him comments on his confident and friendly demeanor. Meeting Alfie has inspired so many of our friends and family to get cats of their own. We are a low-income family made up of two young kids and two student-parents working hard to better our lives. We have used most of our savings on vet bills, and taking on thousands of dollars in debt simply isn't something our family can realistically manage.
