Blitzen

Help Blitzen get Lump (tumor) Removal, biopsy, untrasounds cardiac, — Middlesex, NJ

Middlesex, NJ

Blitzen is the definition of a gentle soul—an extraordinarily sweet, intuitive, and loving dog who brings a quiet comfort to everyone around him. He has a calm, big-hearted demeanor and a natural talent for sensing exactly when someone needs extra affection, whether that means leaning gently against your legs or resting his head right in your lap. Fiercely loyal and quietly resilient, he possesses a steady, peaceful energy that instantly brightens the home. He is a joyful, deeply affectionate companion whose entire world revolves around showing unconditional love to the people he holds dear. Blitzen is currently dealing with a concerning mass on the outside of his right ear. It is coin-sized, semi-hard, and wet—irritated and raw due to an underlying ear infection that causes him to scratch at it constantly. At this point, the mass could be a non-cancerous growth such as a histiocytoma or sebaceous cyst, or an aural hematoma caused by the trauma of scratching, but we need a definitive diagnosis. To get him back on the mend, Blitzen needs a thorough veterinary examination, diagnostic testing (a fine-needle aspirate or biopsy) to check for malignancy, wound treatment for the irritated lump, and prescription medication (medicated drops and antibiotics) to clear up the ear infection so he can stop scratching. His current medical care and diagnostics are being managed by Bound Brook Veterinary Clinic. For major health challenges in the past—specifically when he successfully fought off lymphopenia at eight years old—he received specialty care at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in Hillsborough. We are working closely with Bound Brook Vet to ensure he gets the exact treatment and relief he needs right now. Blitzen joined our family thirteen years ago when he was just a four-month-old puppy, and he has been an irreplaceable part of our lives ever since. From the moment he walked through our doors, my daughters embraced him completely, and the three of them became inseparable companions from day one. Over the years, Blitzen has shown remarkable resilience. When he was eight years old, he faced a health setback with lymphopenia, but he made a full recovery and has enjoyed good health ever since. Four years ago, during the difficulty of a divorce, he served as a constant source of comfort and joy—acting as a true light in our lives when we needed it most. Today, Blitzen remains central to our daily routine. Even though the girls are now away at college, their bond with him remains as strong as ever, and they miss him immensely while they are away. He is far more than a pet; he is a cherished member of our family. Recently, Blitzen developed a new health concern: a mass suspected to be a histiocytoma or a sebaceous cyst. Given how deeply intertwined he is with our family's journey, his recovery means everything to us. He is not merely a pet, but the heart of our household and a comforting connection home for my daughters while they are away at school. Restoring his health ensures that our family's central pillar of loyalty and affection remains by our side. I’ve always believed that being part of a community means standing by one another—whether through moral support or a helping hand when times get tough. Right now, my family and I find ourselves needing that support, which is why I am humbly turning to the community for help. I work full-time as a high school teacher, but like so many others, I am finding it increasingly hard to make ends meet in today's economy. Between supporting my two daughters through college, handling alimony payments, and keeping up with the rising cost of living, my single budget is stretched to its absolute limit. Blitzen has been a constant source of comfort and joy in our lives for 13 years. He isn't just a pet—he is a core member of our family, and abandoning him or ignoring his medical needs in a moment like this simply isn't an option for us. With his recent health issue—a growing lump that requires proper veterinary care and treatment—the unexpected medical costs are more than I can manage on my own right now. Asking for financial help isn't easy, but I have no other choice if I want to ensure Blitzen gets the care he desperately needs. Any support you can offer, whether through a donation or simply sharing our story, means the world to me, my daughters, and our sweet Blitzen.

Lexxi

Baby Lexxi Escaped Euthanasia and Now Needs Help

TX • Montana’s Pack Rescue

At just 8 weeks old and only about 8 pounds, Lexxi came frighteningly close to losing her life before it had even really begun. Lexxi found herself on the euthanasia list at BARC in Houston due to her orthopedic needs. Montana’s Pack Rescue stepped up and saved her just in time when no one else would. This tiny puppy is finally safe—but now she needs help healing. Lexxi has an injury to her right hind leg that is causing her to noticeably limp. There is also a firm area of swelling near the top of her leg, raising concerns that she may be suffering from a dislocation or another orthopedic injury. She needs a thorough veterinary evaluation and imaging to determine exactly what is wrong and what treatment will give her the best chance at a pain-free future. It’s heartbreaking to think that a puppy this young was facing euthanasia while also struggling with an untreated injury. Lexxi should be learning how to play, exploring the world, and discovering what it feels like to be loved—not fighting for her life. Thankfully, Montana’s Pack Rescue said yes when Lexxi had no one else. They gave her the second chance she desperately needed, and now they are committed to getting her the medical care she deserves. Funds raised through Lexxi’s Waggle campaign will help cover her veterinary examination, X-rays and other imaging, medications, treatment for her injured leg, and any additional medical care recommended by her veterinary team. Lexxi has already survived the hardest part: getting out of the shelter alive. Now she needs a community behind her as she begins the next chapter. Please donate to help this little girl heal. Every contribution brings Lexxi one step closer to running, playing, and simply getting to be the puppy she was always meant to be.

Missy

Missy is a 4.5 year old Maltese in El Cajon, CA, who needs $2,000 for MRI, Pain Relief, and Spine Surgery.

El Cajon, CA

I've had Missy since she was a little fluffy jelly bean, and I instantly fell in love with her. She attached herself so hard onto my mom and me, she IS our baby. We currently live in my grandparents' house, renting from them, but we can't pay rent because of the vet bills. My mom is a hairstylist, and I am still in high school. Missy was diagnosed on Wednesday with IVDD. She needs an MRI, and she needs surgery done ASAP! My mom and I are trying everything to get the funds for it all, but we're extremely behind and completely unsure if we can get this done for her. I do not want her in pain, and I don't know what to do. We are so desperate for any help right now; she is in so much pain. Missy's personality is huge; she makes everyone smile. She greets people by flipping over onto her back, and she'll request tummy rubs right away, or her little attitude when she's acting spoiled. Her energy livened up the room in a way that I feel like it cured my chronic depression. She is an amazing dog and one of the best good girls. She is so smart and empathetic. My mom and I are at an all-time financial hardship. I am attending Diego Valley HS in El Cajon, and now with Missy's condition, I cannot get a job. My mom is a hairstylist and makes minimum wage. All we want is for our baby is be happy again and get the chance to walk again.

Kash

Kash is a 1 year old American Staffordshire Terrier in Willingboro, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Circumferential Compression at C2-3 Surgery.

Willingboro, NJ

I adopted Kash from a NC animal shelter when I was visiting my daughter. I was told he was 2 months old and had been found on the side of the road. It appeared that he was severely malnourished, unfortunately two months after I adopted him I found out it was so much worse! I rent a single family 2 story house, but I am trying to find a single level house which would help with Kash’s disabilities Kash is diagnosed with C2/3 Spinal Compression and Cataracts I cannot afford these surgeries. Spinal - his gait, balance, stability, mobility is affected daily. He does not run, use stairs or walk on tile. He falls all the time BluePearlVet Levittown PA Cataracts- the Eye Surgeon said cannot have surgery till he is 2.5 yrs old, unless his eyes get worse. Pet Eye Care Center Cherry Hill NJ Kash is a very happy and loving young Dog, who does not let his disabilities Keep him from exploring the world the best that he can. He loves people! He loves other dogs! And my other dog has taught him so much and is so gentle with him. I bring him to work everyday and a company across the street takes him for about 3 hours in the afternoon to give me a break. I am single and live alone. I put my faith in wrong people and it cost me dearly. My savings was depleted, to pay for his medical expenses my credit cards are maxed out. A puppy shouldn’t have to struggle with normal, everyday things. My life is limited due to his limitations. Surgery would fix that

Sasha

Sasha is a nine-week-old Labrador mix in Raleigh, NC, who needs $1,500 for emergency hospitalization.

Raleigh, NC

Lara G. and her family are struggling financially. Her husband lost his job because of COVID-19, and money is tight. "It's exhausting. It's not easy," Lara tells Waggle. "You can't put anything into savings, and you live check to check." Their new puppy, Sasha, was a bright ray of sunshine during these challenging times. "She is an amazing puppy. She is smart, playful, and most of all very loving," Lara says. But then Sasha became very sick. Lara rushed her to the animal hospital and got terrible news: Sasha had Parvo. The highly contagious virus can be deadly if not treated. When Lara got the estimate for Sasha's treatment, she was shocked. It was thousands of dollars-- money her family did not have. Lara was faced with economic euthanasia, potentially putting Sasha to sleep because Lara could not afford the puppy's care. "I said, we have to come up with the money fast. I cannot put an animal down. It's not fair. I was worried, stressed, and anxious. Her life was on the line," she says. Lara says the Veterinary Emergency Group animal hospital told her about Waggle, and she launched this campaign for Sasha. Lara, her family, and Sasha want to thank anyone in advance who might donate to help; Sasha has her whole life ahead of her. "She will make you smile just by being around her," Lara says. "She is incredibly snuggly. She has adopted my daughter's stuffed rabbit and drags it all over the apartment, and then finally takes it to bed when she is ready to go to sleep. She is just a baby but already has such an outgoing personality."

Penelope

Penelope is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Greenville, SC, who needs $2,000 for Stereotactic Radiation Therapy.

Greenville, SC

Penelope came into our life through my son. He found her on FaceBook Marketplace. She was only four weeks old when he purchased her. Way too young to be taken from her mother. I instantly fell in love with Penelope and soon she became my constant companion 💕. Penelope was diagnosed with nasal carcinoma on July 3rd of this year, Dr. Alexander at Ambassador. At this point she was having difficulty breathing and the small lump between her eyes had grown significantly. Initially she was given two weeks to live. I can't even describe how devastated and helpless I felt. The diagnosis was confirmed by Dr. Nathan Lee at Upstate Vet on 08-06-2025, by CT scan. Penelope's favorite items are her three pillows and three dog beds. She has to have them in the bed with us every night to sleep and every morning before leaving for work, I take all six items to the living room where she remains in the daytime. If I'm in my craft room, I have to take her "belongings" with us, also. If I forget her belongings she barks at me. I've taken on large amounts of debt for surgery, tests, and medication, primarily relying on credit cards to cover Penelope's medical bills. I'm now struggling to pay for food, mortgage, car and utilities. I have nothing left to cover her ongoing expenses.

Honey

Honey's sweet second chance

Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary

At first glance, Honey looks like any other playful 8-week-old kitten. But what you can't see is that she's a Panleukopenia survivor. Panleuk has ripped through kitten communities this spring, and despite every precaution Flying Pigs Sanctuary takes to protect the kittens in their care, it found its way into one of their foster homes. Honey wasn't alone. She and her brother, Baer, were fighting the same terrible virus. Sadly, Baer was simply too sick. Despite everything they tried, they couldn't save him. The moment they lost Baer, they shifted into prevention mode for Honey. They threw everything they had at giving her the best chance possible before the virus could take hold. Even with early intervention, Honey became critically ill and spent two days hospitalized, receiving around-the-clock care that ultimately saved her life. That care came with a price: $2,300. Which is why we're asking for your help. Please consider making a donation toward Honey's medical expenses. Every dollar helps them recover the cost of saving her life so they can say "yes" to the next kitten who needs them.

Snoop

Snoop is a 4 year old Black and Tan Coonhound in Middlebury, VT, who needs $633 for Emergency Blood Work, Meds, and Hospitalization.

Middlebury, VT

I was looking to rescue, rehome or purchase a hound. While doing an extensive search online, I found Snoop! He was living on an Amish farm in Pennsylvania. I made the trek to Pennsylvania to bring Snoop to his forever home. When I arrived at the farm there was a family standing in front of the homestead holding Snoop! I knew immediately he was mine and I was his! Snoop's hound instinct led him into trouble on the evening of August, 24th. He ate compost on the farm where we live. The compost caused a life threatening symptoms! His temperature reached 108 accompanied by other life threatening symptoms. He had a 10% chance to live. He was hospitalized at the Burlington Emergency and Veterinary Specialists where treatment saved his life! Snoop lives up to his name! He is curious and inquisitive. Always snooping around! He has a soft and gentle demeanor and loves everyone he comes in contact with! He loves to snuggle and his naps. He loves his ears rubbed but most of all he loves our times together exploring the woods all over VT and NY. He is the best part of me. He thinks I rescued him but really he saved me... I live on my own and work full time as a caregiver. I pride myself in being very independent so putting this out there is completely out of my comfort zone but Snoop is all I have. He is my child and I will do whatever I can for him, he needs me and I need him even more!

Molly

Molly is a 8-year-old Beagle in Schellsburg , PA, who needs $2,000 for Spinal Surgery.

Schellsburg, PA

Hello. Molly has been a part of my family since she was 8 weeks old. She is a happy, playful, smart, lovable and well behaved baby girl. She gets concerned if someone coughs and then has to give them kisses and check them over. She corrects her beagle brothers, when they are misbehaving. Always at her moms side. She visits her grandma every week to. She sleeps in bed with me. She likes to hunt bunnies and mice. She almost a champion bunny dog, but more of a home body. She suddenly became paralyzed in her rear 2 weeks ago. She’s keeping in check with her dr who referred her to a neurosurgeon. If she doesn’t get this done, she may become completely paralyzed. She can potty on her own and move her back legs some at this time. She is the best behaved beagle I’ve ever seen. That being said, she doesn’t take crap from her brothers and makes them listen to mom. She likes to play within toys and chase the boys sometimes. Likes to watch her daddy cook and sit with him during the day. She’s never had babies but loves helping with them and playing with them if she gets near any. Her veterinarian has referred her to a neurologist. We’re waiting for them to call and set the appointment for her. We travel an hour to see the regular vet. And the Pittsburg vet is two hours away. But all worth it, is they can fix her back up. I am on disability. Her daddy has a place about 15 minutes away & helps out some. We just lost 2 dogs around a year ago and one a year and a half ago. We spent around $400 a month on banshees meds for congestive heart failure. Then jasper got cancer in his spleen.
