Maples
Help Maples get Abdominal ultrasounds, echocardiogram, surgeries — Houston, TX
Houston, TX
My name is Sarah and I’m asking for help for a sweet rescue dog named Maples who I’ve been caring for over the past two months. When I first took Maples in, she was already very sick and in rough shape. I spent a lot of time caring for her, nursing her back to health, and helping her get stronger. Thankfully, she started doing much better, and I really thought we were finally past the hardest part. Unfortunately, something unexpected developed later on. She is the sweetest dog. She like to wipe down my tears when Im crying. I live by myself here in the US. She is the only family that I have. She is the reason why I learned to smile again. I cannot imagine my life without here. Recent X-rays showed that Maples has an enlarged heart and a blockage on the right side. She also has a significant amount of fluid building up in her abdomen. Her veterinarian explained that they can’t safely drain the fluid until they know exactly what is causing it. She now needs an abdominal ultrasound, additional bloodwork and lab testing, and an evaluation by a veterinary cardiologist she needs a echo ultrasounds for her heart. She is currently goes to Alief Animal Clinic, Medvet Houston. The bond with my pet is meaningful because she is more than just a pet. She is part of my life. She gave me unconditional love, comfort and companionship, and she bring happiness into my life everyday. Her recovery matters to me because I want her to feel healthy, safe, and loved again. I would do everything I can to help her recover because she depend on me, and her well being is an important part of my own happiness.

The estimated cost for everything she needs is around $5,000–$7,000. Unfortunately, that is more than I can afford on my own. Maples has already fought so hard to get to where she is today. I took her in when she was sick, cared for her, and watched her slowly get better. Seeing her face another serious medical problem after everything she has already been through is heartbreaking. I’m asking for help because I don’t want money to be the reason Maples doesn’t get another chance. She is such a sweet dog, and I truly believe she deserves the opportunity to get the answers she needs and receive the treatment that could help her. I have all of Maples’ veterinary records, X-rays, and recommended treatment information available. If needed, I can also provide her veterinarian’s contact information so her condition and treatment plan can be verified. Any amount of help would mean so much to me and Maples. Even sharing her story with someone who might be able to help can make a difference. Thank you for taking the time to read Maples’ story and for caring about her.
