Lenny
Lenny is a 7 month old American Shorthair in Lenoir City , TN, who needs $7,500 for CT Scan of Jaw, Surgery, Medication, and Visits.
Lenoir City, TN
I got her when she was 2 days old from a guy that took her away from her mom and siblings. I bottle fed her and now she's 7 months old. Her best friend is her "sister" another kitten that I rescued. They are a bonded pair and she now doesn't know what to do without her. She was attacked by a dog and had to have her eye removed and now she has to have her jaw fixed as it is off centered to the right. We had the surgery to have her eye removed, but she needs a CT scan to check her jaw to see if she needs surgery on her jaw as well. The hospital name is Animal Emergency and Specialty Center of Knoxville, TN Her best friend is Ava, another 7 month old kitten we rescued. They sleep together every single night and groom each other. She loves cuddles, especially during her nap times. When she wants to get a better look around, she'll jump on our shoulders to get a better look and lay down. She loves treats, especially right after breakfast and before bed. She loves to play games and run the hall with Ava I am working and going to school full time and also taking care of my mom. Between our bills and other finances we are struggling financially but we are doing everything we possibly can to get her treatment to get her better.
Clementine
Clementine is a 2 year old Mix-Breed in Sevierville, TN, who needs $8,800 for Exploratory Laparotomy, Gastronomy, Enterotomy.
SEVIERVILLE, TN
I found Clementine through a rescue in 2023. She is the sweetest girl. I can't imagine doing whatever it takes to save her. She has 4 other brothers and sisters. She spends her days napping in my husband's recliner and getting into things she shouldn't Clementine started vomiting after we went to bed. Throughout the night she vomited 10 times. I called her vet and made an appointment for the next morning. That afternoon she started getting sick again. I called her vet back and the suggested that I take her to the ER. She had to have emergency surgery to remove a blockage in her stomach and intestines. Clementine loves spending time cuddled on the couch with you. She is crazy about her Saint Bernard brother. She loves going to day care and playing with her friends there. The cost of Clementines surgery came as a shock. I knew it would be a lot but wasn't expecting the actual cost. Our emergency funds were gone but we figured it out so they would take her. The added monthly bill is going to be a hardship for us.
Lil Bit
Lil Bit is a 5 month old Mix-Breed in Alcoa, TN, who needs $500 for Emergency Visit.
Alcoa, TN
Lil Bit is the runt of my other dogs liter. She is teeny tiny and so lovable. She loves to cuddle and is super attached to me. Always has to be laying beside me with at least her paw touching me. Recently Lil Bit has started pooping blood. I've checked for worms and that's all clear. She is acting normal and still has an appetite and eats and drinks water. I'm so scared something bad will happen if I don't get her treated ASAP Lil Bit loves everybody she comes in contact with and loves playing with her mom. She is such a cuddler and loves her tummy being rubbed. Any kind of attention and she is the happiest puppy. I currently live in a hotel on fixed income. I don't have any kind of saving or emergency funds saved. I lost my dad 2 months ago and she has been my support system. I need to get her to the vet ASAP to see what's going on and get her any treatment she may need.
Bonnie White
Bonnie White is a 3 year old American Shorthair in Knoxville , TN, who needs $2,000 for Poisoning.
Knoxville, TN
An addict neighbor had 2 momma cats w 2 litters. She needed help so I took in 16 kittens! Had both mom's fixed. Found all loving homes. The last 2 I named Bonnie &Clyde & gladly kept them. That was 3 years ago. Their names given because of a costume party. We had and someone showed up as bonnie and clyde. I was giving my dogs the worm medicine ivermectin without me knowing some fell on the porch. They must have walked through it and then licked it off of their paws. Bonnie got the worst of it and was hospitalized. 4 days ago. She is not responsive yet and they are saying it could be 7 to 14 days or more. That she will have to be in the hospital. We always have a special time.We call suki suki time. Her and her brother Clyde take turns mixing on my robe. Bonnie is definitely Queen bee.Even though clyde is twice her size she is his boss. She is sassy and proud that dairy loving on her own terms. We Have already paid a little over 6000 for the last four days. We will continue to pay what we can but we need help because we also have to eat and pay our mortgage. Not to mention we have other animals to feed.
Pepper
Pepper is a 13 year old Mix-Breed in Pineville , KY, who needs $2,000 for Chemotherapy/Radiation.
Pineville, KY
I rescued Pepper from the shelter in November 2017. At first, she was scared and wouldn’t let me pet her. After she got in my car, she laid her head back on the seat like she was relieved to be out of that place and has been my best girl ever since! She’s been my hiking buddy, my cuddle buddy, my road dog, and my best friend since she came home with me. Pepper developed a lump on her leg and her local vet tested it. It came back as mast cell tumor. She referred us to an oncologist at Animal Emergency & Specialty Center. She was diagnosed with Stage III (T2N1M0) Cutaneous Mast Cell Tumor. They were going to remove the tumor but due to location and size, she was put on chemo. We are hoping to raise funds to do radiation. Pepper has become a member of our family. I never knew one could become so attached to a dog. She is happy, friendly, smart, loving and wants attention all the time. She’s gotten older, but she still tries to make every step I take. They told me at the shelter she was an owner surrender. I’m not sure of their reason, because she truly is the best dog ever! I’m so happy I found her. Chemotherapy and radiation are very expensive treatments. We are unsure of how long the process will be but hope to be able to get her in full remission.
Buddy
Buddy is a 2 year old American Bulldog in Vonore, TN, who needs $2,000 for Medication, Oxygen, Overnight Stay, Diagnostics.
Vonore, TN
This is Buddy. He is the sweetest dog I’ve ever met. He is my families dog. More specifically, my new step families dog. We all love him. My step siblings, Josh, Allie, and AJ have had him since before their mom passed away. They cuddle with Buddy every single day. I’m starting this because Buddy was hit by some teenagers driving too fast and not paying attention. They were found at fault. He has internal bleeding from being hit by a car and his lung isn’t completely collapsed but it is bruised with fluid around his heart. They have gotten him stable now but he will continue to be in the vet hospital for a few days and they will be calling us in the morning to let us know what is going on. The kids lost their mom recently and Buddy is basically their emotional support. He is so good with kids. He is patient, and he knows when you’re upset. They need him. My mom helps take care of my sisters kids. My step families dad lost his wife a year ago. They both work but times are tough with basically 6 kids between them.
Ollie
Ollie is a 2.5month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in Knoxville, TN, who needs $2,000 for Parvovirus w/ Hypoglycemia.
Knoxville, TN
My husband and I were completely heartbroken over our previous dog passing, so we finally decided six years later to get Oliver. We found a breeder in KY for Cavaliers and decided to take the chance. We picked him up just 2 days prior to him turning 9 weeks old. We were absolutely smitten with this little 2 pound guy the moment we laid eyes on him. We had just picked up Ollie and he had this bright, bubbly personality. His tail was always wagging, so we called him wiggle butt. He loves to romp and follow us around the house. When he’s not following us around the house, you can find him either curled up in our arms or exploring all the new things/ places in our home. The biggest thing that makes us laugh is when Ollie goes outside, he actually doesn’t like the grass. Not because he’s a picky dog, but simply because the grass is taller than he is and he isn’t big enough to walk through it. He also hasn’t figured out tv yet. The first time he heard voices coming out of this weird box, he went over and watched it and started to wag his tail waiting to be pet. Within 3 days, we noticed Ollie not acting normal. On day 5, Ollie was having hypoglycemic seizures and still not eating. We took him to an animal emergency & specialty hospital, where he unfortunately was diagnosed with parvovirus. He is now in isolated ICU and has a critical care team. He needs supportive care while he fights for his life. Our financial need is to help pay for Ollie’s ICU and supportive care treatment. Our options were to either to start supportive care or to put him down as puppies with parvovirus will not survive without treatment. We don’t want to have to put him down because of money.
Daisy
Daisy is a 3-month-old French Bulldog in Ten Mile, TN, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.
Ten Mile, TN
We got Daisy at the beginning of March and our 3 children are absolutely in love with her. Daisy has only been our baby for a few weeks but we love her and can't stand to see her in pain. We are desperately reaching out to every charity, grant, etc trying to come up with the funds to help her. Daisy loves to run, play, and cuddle up on your lap. She sits in her special carseat in the car right next to our kids. She has become the newest and smallest member of our family. To have something terrible happen to her is awful and we don't know what to do. We need to raise the money and help her. Daisy is a little baby, she loves my children. She has become a part of our family over these past couple of weeks. She runs around the playground with the kids and tries to eat leaves, at night she will drowsily heard you towards the bed to let you know it is time to go to sleep. This sweet little girl deserves to receive the care she needs. Daisy broke her upper leg by the growth plate and it will require surgery to set the bone and pins. If she doesn't receive the surgery immediately it will require amputation which we also couldn't afford. We really don't have any good options and it is killing us to not be able to help her get the care she needs. I have been on maternity leave with my youngest daughter and our costs have increased with inflation. We are trying to stay afloat through this but the unexpected costs are really high and we just don't have that much extra money.
Sigrid
Sigrid is a 4-year-old Great Dane in Loudon, TN, who needs $2,000 for Elbow Fracture Surgery.
Loudon, TN
We brought Sigrid into our home in 2018 when her previous family became unable to keep her. She was just 6 months old then. She has lived with us ever since, growing up alongside our kids and going on countless adventures with us. She enjoys warm weather, chasing skunks, her big bed, and cuddling anyone and everyone that comes to our home. Sigrid is very protective of everyone in our house. She can frequently be heard making her rounds to each of our rooms several times throughout the night to make sure that we are all safe and snug. Like many Great Danes, she thinks she is a lap dog and would gladly crawl onto your lap and cuddle if you would let her. She is extremely patient and gentle with our two kids and loves to play with them Sigrid is a very laid back dog. She isn't very vocal or excitable, but she does get very anxious when we have her away from the house or in big groups of people. These situations make her bury herself as close to you as possible. She's not a big fan of toys, but she loves treats! She will eat anything that isn't a vegetable. On 1/20, Sigrid was hit by a car in front of our house. There were workers on the road and we suspect that she was trying to check them out as she never goes into or close to the road. The impact left her with a shattered front elbow that can't be helped with a cast or splint. We are scheduling surgery to fix it. For such an uncommon break in a dog, we have been quoted anywhere from $4-7,000 for her surgery. This is a huge financial burden that we are not prepared for, but are trying to make happen to keep a part of our family with us and healthy.
Kodi
Kodi is a 3-year-old American Bully in Maryville, TN, who needs $2,000 for TPLO.
Maryville, TN
Kodi is a 3 year old American Bully who came into my life to be just a spoiled house dog and then turned into my service dog. He helped my get up when I fell and would even run to his daddy when I fell and became unconscious. He is a happy boy but can not longer run or help me when I fall. He is still spoiled and pretty much gets whatever he wants. Kodi likes to spend most of his time on the dragon with his dad, myself, and his human sissy. His sister and him are completely attached and he would die for her if he needed to. She has also noticed his energy level dying and his inability to run anymore and all she wants is something to help him. This is unexpected and came quickly. I am in no way financially able to afford the entire bill as I am just a 911 dispatcher and despite what people may think, I don’t get paid a lot. I need my boy back by my side and am willingly to do anything to get him there. He has not been using his rear legs lately and it was confirmed, two torn acls, horrible hips, and horrible knees. This is genetic unfortunately (not the acl tears). I maybe pinching pennies. But he is worth every one! Blackford Veterinary Surgery Referral will be doing his surgeries. He will have one July 22nd and the next one 4 weeks later. Totaling around $7500. Kodi is spunky, speaks with his eyes. Knows how to win with the puppy eyes. He is always happy to see his family members. And he will always gladly give out kisses. He loves to watch cars and motorcycles and has became sort of a mascot in the extreme sports category. Where ever Kodi is you can expect an extreme amount of love.
