Zara

German Shepherd Dog who needs Mammary Mass Removal Surgery.

Tavares, FL • Unseen Unheard Unbroken Inc.

Zara is a 7-year-old German Shepherd with a heart as big as she is, and right now, she needs our help. Zara came to us through UNSEEN | UNHEARD | UNBROKEN Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Florida, when her owner reached out seeking help rehoming her. Before we could move forward with placement, we noticed something that couldn't be ignored, a large visible mass that required immediate attention. We made the decision that no dog leaves our care unexamined. We took Zara to Purrfect Paws & Claws Veterinary Hospital in Leesburg, Florida, where Dr. Anne Valdes confirmed what we feared, a large mammary mass, ulcerated and actively growing, requiring immediate surgical intervention. Dr. Valdes generously waived her examination fee for Zara's initial visit. UNSEEN | UNHEARD | UNBROKEN Inc. covered the cost of her medications using donated funds from our community. This case has already been a community effort, and we are grateful for every person who has stepped up so far. Her veterinarian has recommended mammary mass removal, a spay, chest X-rays, and lab analysis to determine the nature of the mass and whether it has spread. The total estimated cost is $2,696.00. Her family is facing significant financial hardship and is unable to cover the cost of her care. Without this surgery, Zara's condition will continue to worsen. She has already been examined. The veterinarian is ready. We just need the funding to get her into surgery. Every dollar raised goes directly to Purrfect Paws & Claws Veterinary Hospital. Nothing passes through our organization. Please donate. Please share. Zara deserves a fighting chance. Liz Rams, President UNSEEN | UNHEARD | UNBROKEN Inc.
