Loyalty is a 5 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Minneapolis, MN, who needs $560 for Treating Wounds from Car Accident, X-rays and Meds.
Minneapolis, MN
4 and 1/2 years ago Loyalty came into my life. She is a rescue. He was in a home where she was not being cared for properly and being abused. She means the world to me,we rescued each other. I promised her when I got her she would never be hurt again. Yesterday she was hit by a car and she is hurt and I am so hurt. I have done everything in my power to protect and take good care of her. Loyalty was hit by a car yesterday. I went to my front door and she saw my friend parked across the street. When I opened the door she ran she slid past me and she went running across the street towards my friend. A car what's going at a fast pace and hit her. She needs x-rays and meds. You're right leg is beat up pretty bad. Also has more bruising. Need to make sure there isn't internal damage. Loyalty is the sweetest dog you can ever meet. She loves everyone. She is very special. She loves children. She caters to elderly and handicapped people as well. She is just a ball of love. I have just lost my job and have been having difficulty finding something else. Applied for unemployment but is still in a process of waiting for acceptance. I'm really struggling right now and find it hard to make and meet. Now I'm faced with this battle.

Baxter
Baxter is a 10 year old Yorkshire Terrier in Otsego , MN, who needs $1,500 for Luxating Patella Surgery.
Otsego, MN
Baxter was a singleton farm pup who joined our family at just a few months old and instantly bonded with 10-year-old Tally. Through her childhood, teenage years, and now into her twenties, Baxter has been by her side. With a sassy, stubborn spirit and plenty of spunk left, Baxter’s not ready to slow down, he’s still got a lot of life to live and love to give. Baxter was recently diagnosed with a luxating patella in his right hind leg. He’s gone through nearly three weeks on pain meds however the issue is not resolving on his own and the next step is either surgery or euthanasia. Baxter has spent his life as the leader of the pack (at least he tries to be). He is smart. As much as he hates his medication he takes it anyway as he knows a treat is coming right after. This summer, after a grooming visit, he gained a rescue kitten sister, Goose. At first reluctant, he’s now accepted her as his boss, they practically share the same personality. Tally would do anything to have more time with Baxter. But as a college student who is wedding planning and house hunting, $3,000 is a significant amount. It would mean the world to see Baxter healthy again and give him the chance to be a part of our future.

Cheeze
Cheeze is a 2.5 year old Mix-Breed in Minneapolis , MN, who needs $2,000 for Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment.
Minneapolis, MN
Before Cheeze came into my life, he had a tough life as a stray with his mama and 5 sibilings. I rescued him from a foster family when he was 4 months old. He was very timid and malnourished. I was able to encourage him to become the brave boy he is today. He currently lives with me and his older sister, Mac. Cheeze is on a medicated diet for his stress, which is definitely helpful for him. He is currently struggling with gingivitis amongst other dental related issues. I am planning on treating him at Access Veterinary Clinic here in Crystal, Minnesota. I know that he deserves the best, and that is what I am giving him. Cheeze has come a long way since we first came into eachothers lives. He is the sweetest boy who cannot deny a lap to lay on. He is kind and gentle. Cheeze is one for the ages, he is great with all types of people and animals. From celebrating his sisters birthday to cuddling with his mama, he always has the sweetest intentions. I cannot express enough how much it means to me to have the support I need to treat my kitty with the best medical care he deserves. Cheeze is a one of a kind cat with his quarks and lovable, squishable face. It means the world to us that someone would even consider helping.

Macaroni
Macaroni is a 3 year old Mix-Breed in Minneapolis , MN, who needs $1,365 for Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment.
Minneapolis, MN
Mac (Macaroni - full government name) came into my life when she was 4 weeks old. She was found on a farm in Ohio where she had gotten worms, fleas, and ticks. I welcomed her into my life and nursed her back to health. It has been such a joy being able to watch her grow up into the beautiful, sassy girl she is. She currently lives here in Minnesota with me and her brother, Cheeze. Mac needs dental treatment to help her continue to live a long, happy life. I am looking to have her seek treatment from Access Veterinary Clinic in Crystal, Minnesota. They have always taken such good care of my kitties. I want Mac to continue to live the best life she can as she is still so young. Mac is a sweet, kind-hearted girl. She loves her people and is a great cuddler. She is always so welcoming to whoever I bring into the house. The spring toy is her top priority, she can be busy with one for hours on end. She loves to soak up sun on a cozy spot on a couch. Mac is great at communicating boundaries and loves attention. She will even let me hold her like a baby, as she is my first. As I am on a limited income as a young adult trying to navigate this strange world we live in, Mac and I appreciate all donations. There is no better feeling than knowing that you are doing the best you can for a fur baby. And that is what I am doing, my best.

Cassandra
Cassandra is a 6 year old American Shorthair in Minneapolis, MN, who needs $1,300 for Urgent Dental Work and Testing for Illness.
Minneapolis, MN
Cassandra is a rescue from (ironically) SecondHand Hounds. She came into my life in 2022 and quickly proved herself to be an excellent emotional support animal and a great roommate! We live in a studio apartment together and she is my whole world. I am a "recovering" teacher who had to change careers very suddenly, and used up any sort of financial cushion I had during the pandemic. She has been very healthy since I've had her, but she needs dental work and appears to be very sick this past two weeks. We are waiting for further test results, but she has been acting very out of the ordinary and showing signs that are very concerning for a cat. Hopefully, we'll get into Access Urgent Care. Cassandra is a natural companion. She provides pressure and comfort during my PTSD episodes or panic attacks without training, and snuggles when I'm sobbing. She chats with me all day and sleeps with me at night. She LOVES people and will welcome any new person in the apartment. She hates outside and has no plans of returning to the streets any time soon <3 I am a "recovering" teacher who had to change careers suddenly after barely making it through the COVID-19 pandemic with funds to spare. Due to this career change, I am not making what I would have been if I could have continued teaching, and I haven't recovered from COVID.

Sasha
Sasha is a 1 year old American Bulldog in Maple grove, MN, who needs $277 for Parvo Treatment.
Maple grove, MN
I got Sasha as a puppy I fell in love with her as soon as I met her. We are currently in a hotel because of a hardship my fiance lost his job so I am the only one working at the moment and with only one income we lost our home but he is seeking employment and hopefully will be starting something soon. Sasha got sick a couple of days ago she was having upset stomach diarrhea and vomiting and really weak and it just got worse so I had to bring her to Access Veterinary urgent care. She is a very energetic, silly girl she always keeps me on my toes. She is one of the girls she just turned a year July 8 2025. She is the sweetest clumsiest lump of a dog you will ever meet. She may be scared of her own shadow but we love her to pieces. I just want Sasha back she is not herself right now and I don't want to lose my baby because I cannot afford to take care of her. She has a sister who she is connected at the hip with and she is miserable without her playmate and best friend.

Shady
Shady is a 7 year old Maine Coon in Minneapolis, MN, who needs $500 for Exam, Bloodwork, X-rays, Medication, Vaccines.
Minneapolis, MN
I have 2 Maine Coons; brothers Shady and Shadow. They are fixed and just turned 7 years old. I've had them since they were 8 weeks old. They came from the state of Maine and I paid $3000 to have them delivered to me in Minnesota. They both had pretty bad respiratory and coughing problems when they were 2 years old. I brought them to the vet for bloodwork, tests, exam, etc and they were diagnosed with feline asthma and prescribed prednisone which worked wonders. Until recently when Shady started having coughing episodes again. My mother and I adopted them at 8 weeks old. They have lived with only us their entire 7 years. My mother unfortunately passed away when they were 4 years old and I moved to another state which was an adjustment for them. They have had to grieve the loss of my mother and moving a few times, for example. But they adjusted perfectly through all transitions. I am disabled and only receive $350 a month while I wait for SSDI to start. I fortunately live with my fiance who helps me and the boys tremendously.

Papa Tater
Papa Tater is a 3 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Minneapolis, MN, who needs $2,000 for Femoral Head Osteotomy (FHO).
Minneapolis, MN
A week ago I was driving back from a road trip with my friend. We pulled into a motel for the night in Texas. We found a dog limping around the parking lot, very dehydrated with ears full of ticks & bite marks all over his body. He was less interested in the bread we gave him than in climbing in the car so as not to be left behind again. He's shaped like a potato so we call him Papa or Tater Tot. X-rays show that Papa has significant arthritis in his right hip joint and his femoral head bone is diseased. Due to the level of muscle wasting on this limb we think this injury occurred awhile ago, most likely he was hit by a car. He will undergo a Femoral Head Osteotomy at Access Vet Care in the next month. He has been in severe pain for so long & it will get worse if the bone is not removed. He is an absolute lover dog. Despite what he's gone through he's very gentle with everyone, pets & people alike. He loves to hop around, sit & watch people pass by. I haven't had him very long, but he's everything I've looked for in a companion. My family really adores him & have come up with 20 different nicknames already. The vet says he's about 3-4 years old & could have many years ahead. Papa's surgery will cost close to $3,900 which is a big expense I didn't expect right now. I have been approved for a grant from MN Humane Society to cover 1/4 of the cost & need to make up the rest myself. I am a bartender & freelance artist receiving medical assistance.

Dutchess
Dutchess is a 3 year old Miniature Pinscher in West St Paul, MN, who needs $1,000 for Urgent Care Visit and Medication for Eye Concerns.
West St Paul, MN
Dutchess was obtained by a breeder at 10 weeks old. She has lived in the same home with myself and my husband and her two sisters (another min pin and English Bulldog). she is a loving and energetic dog who is my whole world. In the middle of the night last night Dutchess and her sister Diamond, got into a scuffle. It appears she received trauma to her left eye. I noticed Dutchess's eye was bleeding. I attempted to wipe at it and got some out. This morning it is swollen shut and has tears with a little blood and is in need of Urgent care services that I cannot afford at this moment. She is the love of the house. She loves to give kisses, cuddle, play, and spend time outside. She is the most special girl in her affectionate way. She is the protector as well. I just had my car break down last weekend and so any extra money I had saved has gone to car repairs. I could not have seen this incident coming and am told she needs to see care immediately. And I'm so terrified of her being in pain.

Mister
Mister is a 10 month old American Shorthair in Isanti, MN, who needs $1,833 for Exploratory Abdomen Surgery.
Isanti, MN
We got Mister from a pet rescue event from Blaine Minnesota back in August 2024. We adopted him and his sister. His original name was Franklin but after a few days we named him Mister because he was just the silliest kitty getting into places he shouldn’t be in and doing goofy things. We renamed his sister Sweets because she always just wants to be around you and have cuddles and pets. Mister became ill in the beginning of February. We brought him to an urgent vet who gave him anti-nausea medication. Mister continued to get worse. We brought him to another urgent vet who gave him dewormer. He seemed to be getting better. But one morning he became very lethargic not eating or drinking. we brought him to access veterinary care who were able to work with us on getting him help. Mister is a very playful curious kitty. He loves to play with his sister, and human family. He always wants to be with us. Mister likes to play fetch like a dog, chase his toys and look out our big sliding glass door. He has to be the first one to investigate if he hears an unfamiliar sound. Mister also loves to cuddle if your sitting/laying down. His favorite toy is the cat spring toys. My hours have been cut at work, I’ve been doing little odd jobs here and there to get extra income to help with our finances but it doesn’t seems to be enough. I am also currently pregnant. To have mister back to himself would be amazing.

Pepper
Pepper is a 10 month old American Shorthair in West Saint Paul , MN, who needs $2,000 for Foreign Body Obstruction - Removal.
West Saint Paul, MN
Pepper was a rescued from the St.Paul neighborhood along with her three other siblings. She was the smallest of the bunch, small but mighty! Our family took her in and we immediately fell in love. She quickly opened up at home and her small and mighty character landed her the name of Pepper. She’s small, feisty, mischievous, smart and the perfect little sister to Osito. Pepper swallowed a hair tie and was able to regurgitate part of the hair tie, she continued to show signs of lethargy, no interest in playing or eating. We decided to take pepper to the ER in fear that she may still have something stuck in her body. We arrived at Animal Emergency and Referral center in St.Paul where they were able take an Xray and they determined that Pepper had an obstruction. Pepper has brought so much joy to our lives in the past 10 months. From rescuing her, fostering her and eventually adopting her. When Pepper is not busy bossing her brother around, you can find her solving puzzles, sun bathing, tackling college courses with her mom, and at night watching Law & Order SVU with the spare humans of the home. We are facing some financial difficulties in gathering the money for the surgery that Pepper will need in order to remove the obstruction and any recovery treatment. Any help is appreciated!

PJ
PJ is a 2 year old French Bulldog in brookyn park, MN, who needs $2,000 for Cystotomy/Neuter.
brookyn park, MN
PJ came into my life when I needed him most. He was given to me for emotional support after a traumatic brain injury. Since then, PJ has been well loved by the entire family and a host of friends and neighbors. He is a huge part of my life, a big bundle of energy and love when he's feeling well. PJ was diagnosed with bladder stones and an enlarged prostate. prostate is sitting on the urethra line and pinching making it extremely difficult to pass urine PJ loves to shower and be showered with love. He is such a ham, he loves wrestling and playing with his toys. He gives unlimited kisses on demand and loves to cuddle. This is an unexpected major expense PJ is a young otherwise healthy little pup. He cannot live a peaceful life without this surgery..... I love him with all my heart and don't know what I would do without him.

Enoch
Enoch is a 4 year old Argentine Dogo in maplewood, MN, who needs $1,264 for General Anesthesia for Tooth Extraction.
maplewood, MN
Enoch & I began our journey when he was 8 weeks old. It's crazy thinking back to that day...he was such a little guy compared to the mountain of awesome that he is today! He has been at my side almost 100% of the time ever since, & I feel blessed by every moment spent in his company. The last year has been the most difficult time of my life, & I honestly don't know if I'd have made it without him. Enochs health has always been great, but about a year ago, I noticed his muzzle was swollen & he seemed to be in pain. I brought him in to Access veterinary, & after expertly dealing with 120# of cranky, hurting dude, we decided to put him on antibiotics, which solved the issue...temporarily. A few months later, the problem resurfaced & we opted to put him under for both diagnosis & treatment. As I said before, Enoch & I are inseparable. We have developed an almost symbiotic bond which continues to evolve & strengthen as time passes. He is generally a giant baby who is unaware of his size & still climbs onto my lap for comfort, but his intelligence & intuition also spell protector of anyone of whom he is fond. He's nothing short of amazing & we still both learn from each other every day The year has played out like a country song, tbh. I lost my business, my best friend & roommate, followed by my father & then split with my partner of 10y. To top it off, I was forced out of my home when my roommate passed & have yet to secure permanent residence. bad. year.

Oliver is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Princeton, MN, who needs $2,000 for Amputation Surgery.
Princeton, MN
Oliver is a stray who came into our lives looking for a bit of food one night about two weeks ago. The following day, we realized that his leg was clearly broken and infected, I have since provided him with shelter, food, water and love. he reminded me of Oliver from the Green Arrow, when he comes back home after being tortured. It has since stuck! The day after Oliver appeared on our property, I got a good look at him and realized his leg was broken and that he had an open and likely infected wound. I have only spoken with our vet on the phone, but it is likely that it will need to be amputated. The list of needs is as follows: initial in person exam, x rays, neuter, amputation, pain meds and rabbies/FELV/FECRP vaccines. Oliver is a lover, he loves to be snuggled and loved on! He was a stray when he found us, and so he currently resides outside, but will likely find himself snuggles in my home soon!! He is a loud purr box, and has not quarrels with yelling when you stop loving on him, or when he needs a quick snack! He greatly enjoys qual eggs and greek yogurt!! our financial situation is similar to most people at this time. We aren't hurting, but we don't have much to lean back on. Oliver was an unexpected appearance in our lives, and the estimate for his care is higher than we can take on alone...

Honey
Honey is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Champlin, MN, who needs $2,000 for Urinary Unblocking Procedure.
Champlin, MN
My spouse and I adopted honey 4 years ago from a family friend who lived on a farm. This is seriously the most loving cat we've ever met. He has become urinary blocked and needs an expensive procedure done. He has been a healthy boy for the most part but did have a similar block in 2021. He goes to access veterinary clinic in Crystal for these visits. They have been very helpful in this process. He will reach up and ask to be picked up and will always just on your lap if you sit down. A total love bug He loves every person he meets and enjoys cuddling We are not financially able to afford this procedure right now and can use any help we can get. To have our boy honey be okay again would mean everything to my family.

Lakeville, MN
Nellie was adopted as a kitten. She was such a cute kitten. She lives at our home with me, my husband and our six kids. We also have three other cats and a dog. Nellie has bad teeth. She had a bad infection recently that caused her to have to go on a round of antibiotics. She needs to have a few teeth pulled at Access Vet Clinic in Minneapolis. It is quite expensive and we need help with raising the funds to make this happen. She is the most loved cat by our friends and family. She does not like to be picked up, but will come and sit on your lap and take all the love she can get. She will greet and say hi to everyone and give anyone a chance. Don’t let the pictures fool you with that grumpy looking face. She is so loving. We are a family of eight and as everyone right now can understand, things are tight for many; including us. This honestly was a shock as her teeth were getting better. It is quite expensive and we don’t have the finances to put towards it right now and need your help.

Mia

Minneapolis, MN
Hello, This is Mia. She is 6 years old, and at 2 years old we my husband and adopted her from the humane society. When we adopted her she has an incision on her belly from a cyst on her belly. Now Mia has a mammary cyst, we’re told 95% of the time is cancerous, we just bought our first home 3 month ago, just got married, also had to buy a new car because my engine blew up. We want to help Mia. When we first got Mia, she was given to the humaine society for peeing blood. It turns out she had a cyst on her uterus and had to get it removed. Now 4 years last while giving her and her brother their seasonal baths I found a lump that’s been growing. We will be taking Mia to Access pet hospital to get her surgery in hopes we caught it fast enough and the cancer did not spread. Mia is such a snuggly bug. She is 6 and her brother Oliver is 11. They like to play with laser pointers and slid across our hard wood floor when running. They also like to wrestle one another. They both are so cuddly they sleep with us every night and wake us up in the morning with meows when they are hungry. We just want to help Mia out and hope we caught the lump fast enough. She is such a young girl she doesn’t deserve this. vets think she to her being spayed so late at 2 years old this could be the cause of that. We just bought our first home, and got married.

Blue Anderson
Blue Anderson is a 10 month old Mix-Breed in Shakopee, MN, who needs $2,000 for Abdominal Exploratory Surgery.
Shakopee, MN
Blue was a gift. He came into our family dec 2023. When he first came home he went straight to my special needs child and hasn't left her side. Those too do everything together and are inseparable. We named him Blue because he has some beautiful blue eyes. Blue does not and will not fool with anyone else in my home beside my special needs daughter. Blue currently has an Gi obstruction-corn cob. I learned that when I took him to the vet for vomiting and not even keeping water down. I was told he needs surgery to remove the corn cob because it will not pass or digest Blue is very special to my special needs child. When he first walked into as a little puppy he went straight to my special needs child. I have 3 children total. Blue went to my special needs child and has not left her side. Somehow blue knew to protect her and alert when he couldn't stop her from being unsafe. After noticing that we started training him to be her service animal. I am on medical leave and have been for about two months. I am currently trying to get short term disability from my job and that is a long process. I fell behind on some bills. I am hoping my short term disability will start soon but I know it will not start fast enough to

Rex
Rex is a 5 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Robbinsdale, MN, who needs $600 for Exam, Vaccines, Neuter, Mass Removal, and Possible Hip Dysplasia.
Robbinsdale, MN
Rex came into my life very unexpectedly. His previous owner went on a weekend trip out of state and never came back. I’ve had Rex for about four months now and he’s a bit of a handful. Grain and gluten intolerance and hasn’t been to the vet, ever, he’s 5. With needing to get everything done at once and my car needing repairs it’s not the best timing financially. I’m looking to get an initial visit, neutered, shots, heart worm check and preventative chews, bloodwork done, he has a mass in his mouth which could require surgery if cancerous, he’s starting to show hip displasia. Rex is disinterested in toys, he is very picky about his food. It needs to be changed every three days or he won’t eat it. (He requires grain and gluten free) gets a long well with people, does not interest t well with other dogs, so dog parks are out. He does like walks but he gets tired very easily these days partly to do with the hips and partly to do with an unknown factor. I’ve known him since 2019 and I can’t give him up just yet. I hope maybe if he gets neutered, shots and heartworm and basic health figured out he’ll be happy again.

Tokyo
Tokyo is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Robbinsdale, MN, who needs $1,500 for Foreign Body Removal Surgery.
ROBBINSDALE, MN
Tokyo came into our family in 2021, when she was introduced to my son as a rescue and they were instantly attached to each other. My son invited me over to meet her, and when I opened the door she came running to me, jumped on me and started licking my hand. When our eyes locked, I was in love. In 2023 my son was in transition and he asked me to care for her; she has been living with me for 1 year On April 16 she became very ill, vomiting over 10 times in a 24 hr period. Fear of her becoming dehydrated I took her into the vet for urgent care on Wednesday, where they did xrays and found a dried piece of corn cob lodged near her pancreas. One more day without emergency surgery and she would've died. She did receive surgery at Access Vet Care, but we need help with her surgery expenses. She is a quiet dog but full of energy, very obedient and well mannered. By the way she's a master manipulator, knowing how to use her eyes to get what she wants. That's what's so loveable about her! She is very smart to find other ways to communicate, and that's what makes her special to us. I cannot imagine our lives without her!! I'm currently in transition of employment andthis was an unexpected expense. We are trying to raise funds to pay for her surgery so she came come home to us again. She is a joy to us and is a companion to my 14 year old son who is healing from severe anxiety.

Lucy
Lucy is a 11 year old Papillon in Fridley, MN, who needs $2,000 for Geriatric Screening with Heart & Lung Testing.
Fridley, MN
We bought lucy about 11 years ago, she just turned 11 on March 3rd. She has been the light of our life. She’s full of sass, slink and the princess of the house. She had one puppy a few years ago and she loves him with all her heart. She has a brother Rickey as well who she loves to lay around with and cuddle. She’s a lover and a definition of a lap dog. We currently noticed some delayed breathing, wheezing and shortness of breath. She’s not eating as much nor drinking, she recently had a fainting spell. We suspect she may be having some heart problems, but we’ve had some financial setbacks which we went through our rainy day/savings fund. We are looking to raise money to bring her in, to double check our suspensions and worries. She is the sweetest baby. She loves kids, men, women’s and other dogs. She’s not scared of anything and loved watching nature, loves watching the birds and squirrels and feeling the breeze on her fur. She loves to run around with zoomies in our apartment. The family adores her and she gets attention anywhere she goes. We do have a fixed Income and had some financial setbacks and we had to use our rainy day/emergency funds so that is why we don’t have access to the funds needed as of now. We just want to find out if she has something serious going on and what measurements to take

Nala
Nala is a 5 month old Mix-Breed in Mounds View, MN, who needs $1,500 for Abdominal Exploratory Exam.
Mounds View, MN
Nala is one of the 4 cats in the house including a dog as well. She came from a barn kitty and we got her at 9/10 weeks old. Ever since we got her she has been the best cat I could ever imagine having. So it all started when Nala had a foreign object stuck in her lower intestine, she got it surgically removed at Accsess veterinary hospital and Crystal Minnesota, and about 3 to 4 weeks after her surgery she started vomiting food up right after eating every time she. Nala is the most lovey/playful cat with humans and other animals. She always sleeps with her two owners every night and is also constantly purring and kneading. I am unemployed until May due to having a seasonal job and it would mean the world to me for Nala to feel better because she has been feeling like this for about a month now

Raven
Raven is a 3-year-old Bouvier Des Flanders in Fridley, MN, who needs $899 for Dental Cleaning.
Fridley, MN
Raven came into my life when I was 20 years old. She came from a breeder all the way from Alaska! My family wanted to add a puppy into the family, but Raven was going to be my emotional support dog at the same time. I moved out at 21 and got an apartment in Minneapolis. We would go to the dog park constantly, and hang out at home. Now, we live in a town house, and enjoy walking around the area. Raven loves her grandma and my little brother. She gets so excited when she see's them. Jumps all around, and lays on them, so they won't leave! She loves to play out in the snow. During the winter, I take her to the Minnehaha Falls dog park, and boy does she love it! She will run on the shore, and just run in the woods for hours! When we come home after the dog park, she will pass out! Ever since she was a puppy, she loved to play in the snow. She get's so excited that she start's jumping around and playing in the snow. One of her habits that she created is she will run and she will get ahead of me where I don't know where she went. However, every time she will come find me without me calling for her. She always makes sure that I am not far away from her. In August of 2023, she was diagnosed with stage 2 periodontal disease. I went to different vets to make sure that this was true. Her main vet diagnosed her and wanted me to pay $ 2,000 to get her teeth cleaned. I went to a different vet and they diagnosed her with stage 2 as well. They had a better rate, but still not something that I can afford. I have health issues that I constantly have to deal with, and pay for. I just got a new job at a different school, and I not getting paid my full yearly salary due to starting in the middle of the school year. My dog means everything to me, and I don't want her in pain!

Ray
Ray is a 13-year-old Pit Mix in Saint Paul, MN, who needs $1,200 for Mass Removal Surgery.
Saint Paul, MN
I acquired Ray 13 yrs ago from the Animal Emergency Clinic and Referral Center when he was brought in for being shot in the eye. I fixed him up and took him home and he has loved and protected my family since. He had this tumor for about 5 month and he decided to try remove it himself. So I need help getting his surgery to have it removed and closed up. Ray sleeps on the couch with my husband, now that he has a hard time getting into my bed. He likes to snuggle up with the cat, me, and the kids. He does like going for walks, running, and swimming. When he was younger, he liked to do a lot of agility, and now that he’s older, we still do some but not as much. He likes to play tug-of-war, chew on hard toys, and eat lots of treats. He loves to cuddle up with me and the family, including other pets. He loves to play in water with the kids and run around with them. He likes training with me and playing learning games. Everyone who meets him loves him. He has this tumor that has shown up about five months ago, and has grown very large. He decided it was time to remove it, and tried to do so himself. So now we need to get it removed and closed up so it can heal properly. Access veterinary Hospital is going to do the surgery. I would absolutely love to have him around for a couple more years with the family. This was just a bad time of year with all our birthdays and Christmas and my husband not getting very many hours at work like normal.

Bishop
Bishop is a 14-year-old Pitbull Husky Mix in Robbinsdale , MN, who needs $1,742 for Mass Removal or Possible Toe Amputation.
Robbinsdale, MN
Hi all who are taking the time to read this. Meet Bishop I adopted him when he was roughly 1. I was told he was a stray before he picked me. I grew up around dogs but there's truly something special about him. He's been to all 48 states with me.In 13 years I can count on one hand how many times ive left him alone. I mean he is ALWAYS been with me. Hes the kind of dog that didnt need to be trained. Interaction/where he sleeps... he sleeps where I sleep. It's a pretty safe bet wherever I am he's not far. He is definatly a howler. He barks from time to time but generally only because i left the room. He's always been a little too curious about cats but lived with one a while. No he has a little sister, Vanna, also rednose. Super cute how protective she is of him Right away bishop was one of the dogs that didnt need to be trained. His first couple years he and i traveled the country living in a conversion van. Then we moved up to 18 Wheelers. When I met him i was called a pitbull racist by the lady @AHS, terrified of the breed. 2 min later she told me she NEVER seen a dog bond to someone like he did me. If you meet him, youll see wwhat im talking about. About a year ago I noticed a small bump on his rear paw the size of a snow pea. Today it's larger than a golf ball. All his life he's been pretty healthy. Recently had pneumonia but we caught that quick, he pulled through it like a boss! Prior to that he had lymes disease. Short of that hes always been healthy. Then this showed up and nobody can explain it makes him lethargic and in pain My world has been a roller coaster. Up, down, up, down. The one thing that's been consistent is Bishop. Lately I've been asking myself if I gave him the best life I could? Because he gave me the best life period. Hes also my ESA. He deserves this help and to be happy again.

Suki
Suki is a 1.5-year-old American Shorthair Tabby in Minneapolis, MN, who needs $450 for Tx for Possible Poisoning / Urgent Care, Sedation, Blood Sample, X-Ray.
Minneapolis, MN
Suki was found along with two siblings the day after they were born. The mother cat was nowhere to be found so Suki and her siblings were taken to an amimal rescue organization in Madison. Of the three kitties, Suki we the only one to survive. Approximately 2 month later, I was able to adopt her. I adopted her during the first wave of Covid, so we were able to spend alot of time together. Suki is very special to me, and I find her to be a wonderful companion. She is not overly snuggley, but has a sweet personality. Suki does not warm to strangers and has a difficult time visiting the vet, so the cost of her care is increased because she has to be sedated. I hope Suki will get more comfortable with the vet when she gets older! Suki loves to explore my apartment and always finds interesting places to hide. She likes to chase toys and pretend she is in the wild. Every morning Suki will stretch out on the floor in front of me looking for a belly rub. She doesn't like laps, but I will take any moment that she comes a bit closer to me. Suki is being seen at Access Veterinary Care in Minneapolis. She has been vomiting and not eating. I think she may have eaten something poisoness to cats. She is still being assessed but the bill has already reached $450. I hope that this is all of the care that she will need. The next step may be an x-ray. I am a recent graduate of the University of Madison and am currently working in a lab. I have several expenses (rent, etc.) which quickly use up my paycheck. This vet bill is unexpected and will be difficult for me to pay. Thank you in advance if you are able to help!

Marty
Marty is a 14-year-old ChiPom in Becker, MN, who needs $1,100 for a dental and x-rays.
Becker, MN
On a cold fall evening 14 years ago, my cousin came over to my house and said, I got you something." She pulled her jacket open and there he was! My new best friend! My kids have grown up with this guy. I was/am involved in animal rescue in the 4 corners, New Mexico/Colorado/Utah/Arizona. This grumpy grandpa Marty has helped raise and rear hundreds of foster pups including his 2 house dog mates. Marty is the most loyal and bravest old man. He would fight a grizzly bear to defend his pack. Even though he is the smallest in the house, everybody knows he's the BOSS! Marty absolutely LOVES coffee and treats! And even more he LOVES his family. Marty does many tricks like dancing, shake his paw and not so much in his older years but he can roll over too. We moved back to our home state of Minnesota to take care of my elderly grandma leaving behind my job as animal control officer in rural New Mexico right before the Covid pandemic. Being that my grandmother is vulnerable and needs help I haven't been able to work. Marty has level 4 (the worst) dental problems and needs to get his teeth cleaned and some pulled. He had 9 teeth pulled in 2017. I know his teeth hurt and I have brought him to the vet. His infected teeth make his ears hurt as well and makes him shake in pain. I sometimes give him doggy pain meds. He was given antibiotics which helped but 3 weeks later his breath stinks and I can tell that he hurts. Marty is always giving hugs by pushing his forehead into me. Since the day he came into our home he likes to snuggle under blankets and always sleeps at the crook of my knees. He is very smart and shows me he wants treats by runnung back and forth between me and the treats. Marty loves to play with his toys. Tug of war mostly. He's the best little dog and we love him so much. ❤

Specks
Specks is a 1-year-old Blue Heeler in Brooklyn park , MN, who needs $2,000 for testing and diagnostics.
Brooklyn park, MN
We got Specks up north from a farm after we adopted our 5th and 6th children (our niece and nephew). Our previous puppy passed in the ER due to a sickness after eating a poisoned mouse! It was an awful and sad time for all of us, especially our kids. We also have a large breed Canario that has had Lymes disease since she was a puppy and now severe arthritis and blind. The kids named him Specks. You will never see a dog love children and vice versa more than this boy and our children. He would do anything for them. He takes turns sleeping with all of them. He is soooo loved! He follows them wherever they go. He loves his big dog sister and cat brother. Our 3 year old adopted daughter hugs him all day. I lost my job due to Covid and just now back to part time but not good credit to take out loan or apply for payment plan. I emptied all my accounts. I literally have $7 to my name. It started about a month ago. He started acting strange, and was holding his tail down. If you touch him by the base of his tail, his butt cheeks or his back legs he gets upset and was lethargic and panting. He just lays on kids laps or couch not wanting to do anything. His tail is between his legs, limping and whimpering He filled a void due to the death of our puppy and our sick older large breed dog. He is our kids life. His tongue hangs out due to his crooked jaw and he follows them everywhere. He takes turns sleeping with each kid and always makes the rounds to all of us to get love and give love. His a silly looking little guy but so loved
