Maka

Maka is a 3 Year Old Rhodesian Ridgeback in Waianae, HI, Who Needs $2,000 for FHO- Both Hips.

Waianae, HI

I adopted Stewie, now Maka, @11 weeks, from PAWS of Hawaii. His mom was a pregnant stray in Waianae. Heʻs my first pet in 13 years & he helped me stop my addiction. Heʻs a white Ridgeback/PB house dog w/full access to outside grass, and lizards for his hunting desires. Roommates and their pets come & go, we have a foster fail "Shy" Iʻm a diehard volunteer with Aloha Animal Outreach & partners Maka was born without hip sockets, the left hip is the worst. Without receiving FHO surgery he will not have a long, normal life. We recently came home from a dog play date and cried on the floor afterwards. I layed with him and his wagging tail and gave him medicine. I cannot imagine putting him down and I cry just typing this. He is my everything. Dr Kelly @ Aloha Affordable Vet in Aiea He has MANY friends but he LOVES the littles. Hee is crazy tall. He knows commands in English & American Sign Language. Maka means "eyes" in ʻOlelo Hawaii. He is so EXPRESSIVE + the top of his ridgeback has another set of eyes. Maka boosted the confidence of at least 20 fosters dogs so far. It breaks my heart that we paused fostering until he has surgery. Having him healthy would mean the world to my heart. I would continue medical and emergency foster care for Aloha Animal Outreach, Hinaʻs Legacy, PAWS of Hawaii, FAF. The cost is prohibitive. Single income on Oʻahu & while healthy now, I had 4 surgeries the last 3 years

Ajax

Ajax is a 6 Year Old Bengal in Omaha, NE, Who Needs $1,000 for Emergency 🏥, Steroid Adjustment, Diagnostic Panel.

Omaha, NE

Ajax (now 9) came to me at age six from the Capital Humane Society after his previous owners died. Their family surrendered him. When we met, he was quiet and displayed symptoms of depression. I was also struggling with deep depression and was seeking a companion for emotional support. We bonded immediately. We healed each other, moving past our previous struggles. He is now my joyful companion. Ajax suffers from chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), managed with steroids, but he is having a terrifying flare-up. He is lethargic, vomiting, and has painful liquid diarrhea—he is completely miserable. He needs immediate diagnostic work and treatment at the Westgate Animal Clinic in Omaha, NE to stabilize his condition and adjust his medication protocol now. Ajax is quirky, loving, and essential to my family. He shows affection with forceful headbutts, always rushing over to 'bonk' me, melting away stress. He is a champion snuggler; when I'm down, he's there, purring loudly on my lap. His playful demands and unwavering presence bring deep, unconditional love and peace into my everyday life. This emergency comes at the worst time. I was recently unemployed; savings are gone. I started a new job, but won't be paid for three weeks. I cannot cover Ajax's urgent vet costs (IBD flare-up) plus rent. The stress is crushing. A healthy Ajax means everything.

Princeton "Prince"

Princeton "Prince" is a 18 Month Old Bernese Mountain Dog in Petoskey, MI, Who Needs $2,000 for Hospital Stay for 5 days and FHO Surgery with Plate.

Petoskey, MI

15 years ago I was medically retired from the hospital. When I got out I got a service dog who changed my life. She passed away from bone cancer 2 years ago the day after Christmas. I was crushed and I felt like a part of me died. I never thought I would find that love again. 6 months and dozens of puppies later my life was blessed again when Princeton became my new future service dog and hope. Today, a week before Thanksgiving, a woman knocks and tells me she hit a white dog. We rush him to the vet and it's the worst they have seen. Multiple hip fractures and they dont do the necessary sergery we are referred to Blue Pearl in Grand Rapids, MI. He will need an FOH and a plate or a full hip replacement. He has been training since he was about 5 months old However, he's the first puppy my husband and daughter have ever had and they spoil him mercilessly. He goes on all my delivery jobs with me and likes to have his paw held, it soothes us both. We are inseparable and both don't like being separated. I am supposed to be receiving a spinal neck fusion and he is a reason I want to get better. Because of my pending neck surgery for spinal stenosis I have been working ride share gigs. It's a weekend and not life threatening they won't perform any surgery for at least 5 days and he must be hospitalized and monitored the whole time. I need him to be ok my surgery bud

Chips

Chips is a 1 Year Old Mix-Breed in Gulfport, MS, Who Needs $1,500 for Eye Removal Surgery.

Gulfport, MS

My husband and I got Chips from a shelter after we lost our first fur baby Merry. We don’t go into the shelter that day looking to bring home a new dog, but we fell in love with her as soon as they brought her out to meet us. She lives at home with two other dogs. Maple, who we got from the same shelter as Chips and Persephone, my sister rescued her when she was only three months old. When we adopted Chips we noticed that one of her eyes looked blue. The shelter told us that when she came to them at 3 months old that her eye looked like that, they weren’t sure what happened. When we took her for her first vet visit, at bainfield pet hospital, around 6 months old, they told us that she has glaucoma and that there is a lot of pressure so it would need to be removed. Chips is very interesting, she does a lot of funny. When it’s time for her to eat if we take too long to get her food. She barks and taps her front paw. She loves to sit on our heads when she is playing with her toys in bed. For some reason she is very afraid of backpacks. And every morning when she sees my sister she wags her tail really fast and growls to say good morning. We knew she was probably blind, but we weren’t expecting that it would need to be removed. Since this needs to be done as soon as possible and is a very expensive surgery we don’t have the money saved up for it. Since she is a puppy we don’t want her to be in pain anymore

River Song

River Song is a 8 Year Old American Longhair in Eugene, OR, Who Needs $2,000 for Feline Crown Amputation.

Eugene, OR

My husband and I ended up with River when we saw her in a Craigslist ad for $80. We had just moved in together in our first apartment, and he had always wanted a pet. We had my dog, Leeloo, but he never had his own pet. When we saw little River, we knew we had to have her. Then, later that day when we had first seen her, the listing was updated to FREE. It was a no-brainer. River has been in our lives for 8 wonderful years now. Unfortunately, she has severe dental issues and needs a tooth removed before it causes further distress for her. She is also experiencing an allergic reaction to a dry food, so she is quite uncomfortable in her own skin. At one point she had stopped eating because of her tooth pain, and it was horrible to see her lose weight. River is so special to us. She and our Labrador retriever, Leeloo (who I've had for 10 years), are best friends. They sleep together, play, and annoy each other like the sisters they are. River demands attention and gets what she wants, because she's so cute. She is the softest cat I've ever pet, and holding her close after my top surgery was such a highlight of my life. I am a disabled transgender person, and my husband works hard, sometimes 50 hours a week to make ends meet. An entire paycheck of his goes to rent, and the other goes to our car payment. Knowing our babies can't be taken care of immediately, breaks our hearts.

Romeo Giuseppe La Tour

Romeo Giuseppe La Tour is a 4 year old Whippet in San Francisco, CA, who needs $1,700 for Fracture Repair.

San Francisco, CA

Romeo came into my life 4 years ago when he was just a puppy. He has seen me through so may ups and down and twists and turns in life. He is such a healer and means so much to me and my family. I love him with all of my heart and it breaks my heart to see him go through this. On the 28th of September on a drizzly Sunday morning, Romeo ran outside to play. He slipped and broke his right radius and ulna. The emergency veterinary hospital told us that he would need a surgery. Romeo had his surgery at Maverick Veterinary Surgery Service. Romeo is the goofiest, sweetest, most gentle creature. My Mom says he is just like Ferdinand the bull who loved to smell the roses. He enjoys playing with his huge basket of toys and is careful to put them away when he is done. He also has a raven friend he talks to in the yard. He loves his nightly bedtime stories and songs and he especially loves painting with his non toxic water color paints. The cost for Romeo's surgery is above and beyond any savings I had to provide for him. My family has all pitched in to help but the cost is substantial and any contribution to help lower the payments would be greatly appreciated.

Leo

Leo is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Windsor, ON, who needs $2,000 for Perineal Urethrostomy.

Windsor

Leo is my first pet, a 1-year-old tabby kitten full of love and energy. He has been with me since he was a tiny baby and now lives with me indoors in Windsor, Ontario. He is more than just a pet—he is my family, my companion, and the one who makes my small home feel alive and warm every single day. Leo has been struggling with painful urinary blockages, which are life-threatening for male cats. After multiple catheter procedures, his vets confirmed he urgently needs a Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) surgery to survive. He is currently under care at the Windsor/Essex Humane Society Veterinary Clinic. Without this surgery, his condition cannot be managed. Leo is my family, my first pet, and the reason I look forward to coming home every day. He waits at the door for me, follows me around, and comforts me on my hardest days. He is playful, affectionate, and fills my life with joy. I cannot imagine a single day without him, and the thought of losing him breaks me completely. He is a dog in cat’s skin, that’s how i can explain how he is. I work part-time and have already exhausted all my resources on Leo’s treatments. The cost of his surgery is more than I can afford alone. Having him healthy again would mean the world to me it would give Leo the happy, pain-free life he deserves.
