Kaya came into my daughter’s and granddaughter’s lives a little over four months ago after being rescued from a shelter. She had been surrendered by the family of her original owner after that owner passed away. At first, Kaya was timid, missing her former owner and adjusting to life after the shelter. With tender loving care, patience, and attention, she quickly began to feel safe and loved. Kaya, my granddaughter’s beloved 6-month-old mixed-breed puppy, is in urgent need of emergency veterinary care. In just moments, she somehow pulled an albuterol inhaler down from a tall dresser and chewed through the canister, ingesting the medication while my granddaughter had briefly stepped out of the room. Immediately called vet and she was rushed to Animal ER of the Western Slope to save her. Kaya is a deeply loved member of the family and an important source of emotional support for both my daughter and granddaughter, who live with PTSD after severe trauma. She curls up beside my granddaughter at night and helps her sleep peacefully, and her bark at the door brings a sense of comfort and security to them both. Kaya loves visiting her “doggie cousin”. My daughter, a single mother, survived a devastating house fire, years of treatment, and the loss of her car. Now the replacement vehicle needs over $7,000 in repairs, and Kaya’s emergency care is beyond her means. Without help, she may lose their beloved puppy.
