Help Charlie get Neurology evaluation, MRI/CT Scan, Spinal Surgery — Paso Robles, CA

Paso Robles, CA

Charlie was a stray near a vineyard with no homes nearby. For two weeks, he ran scared from people and vehicles, with coyotes in the area. One day, a woman asked if I would take him if she could catch him. I said yes. She placed a cage in front of him, and he didn’t fight or run—he simply went in. It felt like he was finally ready to be saved. I brought him home, and he became family. Charlie has been treated by Dr. Bell and Dr. Reyes at Monarch Dunes Veterinary Clinic. He suddenly lost the use of his back legs and now needs a board-certified neurologist, advanced imaging, and possibly spinal surgery. We want to pursue surgery if he is a candidate, but the cost is overwhelming. I am trying everything possible to raise the money to give Charlie that chance. Charlie deserves the same chance every loved dog deserves. Before he found us, I don’t know what he endured. Even now, loud noises, a broom, or a sudden movement can send him running to hide. But with us, he learned he was safe and loved. He cuddles beside me at night and has finally found his family. He survived so much to get here. I don’t want his story to end now when he still has a chance. I’m a single mom and the only one working full-time while my son attends college full-time. I have no other financial support. Just 3 weeks ago, I lost my beloved cat to cancer. I’m still recovering from those expenses, and now Charlie urgently needs me too.
