Buttercup
Buttercup is a 11 year old Pug in St Petersburg, FL, who needs $5,000 for CT Scan and Radiation.
St Petersburg, FL
Buttercup has been in our lives since she was a puppy. We also haven’t decided her sister, Leia, from the same litter. They are best friends and do everything together. Buttercup has been diagnosed with oral cancer, she is currently being seen by FETCH animal hospital in Clearwater Florida. Buttercup is in need of radiation and a CT scan. She is currently on medication to help with inflammation. Buttercup is our family mascot. She is a joy and loves everyone. She will give you kisses and will cuddle with you all day. She puts a smile on everyone’s face. She’s been by our side through life’s happiest moments and its toughest days, offering unconditional love, comfort, and loyalty without ever asking for anything in return. I recently was laid off from my job and funds have been tight. The cost of surgery, treatments, medications, and follow-up care is overwhelming, and we can’t do it alone. We are asking, with humble hearts, for your help. Buttercup is our little girl.
Lilly
Lilly is a 4.5 year old Mix-Breed in New Port Richey, FL, who needs $2,000 for Chemotherapy (CHOP Protocol).
New Port Richey, FL
Lilly was born on 1/3/2021, & I adopted her on 03/08/2021. When I took her home that night, I set her in a pet bed on the floor. I had a twin-sized mattress then, so I was afraid I'd roll over & hurt her in the middle of the night; Lilly disagreed. She whined & cried until I brought her into bed, when she promptly fled beneath the blanket & curled up behind my legs — the same way she sleeps now. On 04/24/2025, Lilly was diagnosed with cancer. On 04/29/2025, Lilly went to Fetch Specialty & Emergency Veterinary Center for an oncology consultation with Dr. Lydia Sixta. She recommended Lilly begin a type of chemotherapy treatment called the "CHOP." Lilly started that day, and she received treatment at Fetch every week since. Lilly has a LOT of personality. She will howl at visitors (muffled by the toy she brings them). She loves sitting on the window sill, watching the world outside. She climbs on the back of our couch like a goat, sits on our shoulders like a parrot, and sprints into action like a cat. She is a silly, clumsy, cute, sweet, stubborn, joyful, rambunctious—and, most of all, a really good girl. Shortly before diagnosis, Lilly had $2000 dental surgery, and now her CHOP treatment, which costs that much per month—about as much as I make per month. And while we're halfway through her treatment and she's responding exceptionally well, I'm struggling to pay what remains.
Riley
Riley is a 12 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Port Richey, FL, who needs $2,000 for CHOP Chemotherapy.
Port Richey, FL
I got Riley when she was just a tiny baby, from my uncle and aunt back in 2013, she was meant to be my fathers dog but i fell in love with her right away, she has been my beautiful girl ever since, her and I are inseparable and i would not want it any other way.. Riley is so playful and full of life, she makes all my life so much better. Riley was diagnosed with Chronic lymphocytic leukemia on Wednesday May 14, 2024, I would love to continue doing chemo, but with the expense of how much it cost I know i will not be able to afford doing all 19 weeks... she is still so full of life and I would love her to live the rest of her years as healthy as the rest of them have been.. at Fetch Specialty & Emergency Veterinary Center Riley is special to me and all of my family members, she loves to play with her favorite brown bunny squeaky toy, swim with my siblings, dad, and I, & plays with my parents dogs bruno and kenji, she has a sassy personality, and talks back if you talk to her, i love it. Riley has been with me since i was 17, she spends most of her time being sweet and cuddly with me everywhere i go With rileys treatment plan, after her having a toe surgery last month i have no emergency funds available.. it was very unexpected for these to happen back to back.. to have riley healthy again with no worries about the cancer would mean everything to me, she is my soul dog.
Bella
Bella needs $2000 for Surgery for Bone Fracture.
Clearwater, FL
Hello I’m Brittany Richardson. I currently live in Florida. Im a server at a restaurant. I got my baby girl Bella when she was only 2 months and during the time I was going through a bad time in my life. Honestly I fell in love with her and she literally does everything with me she is my best friend. She’s a mini golden doodle. She unfortunately has a broken front arm or leg I should say and it’s 8,000 for surgery I don’t have that at all. I went to fetch but sadly I’m trying everything in my power to get her the surgery. Every time I come home from going anywhere I love to bring her a new toy so she knows I’m always thinking of her. She LOVESS anything with pigs it’s so cute. She loves to sleep right on me or next to me. Even though she’s a puppy she’s so smart and a very very happy dog It would mean the world to me that others care as much about her like I do. I know everyone doesn’t have much but anything helps and is soooo very appreciated. I hate seeing her in pain or sad I would give anything to get her this surgery it’s too much 8,000 sucks
Seiko
Seiko is a 9 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Largo, FL, who needs $2,000 for Radiation 13k or Palladia 2k Monthly.
Largo, FL
Seiko is a nine year old American bully. I've had him since 14 weeks old and he has been the best boy his whole life. Given me 9 years of kisses, love and loyalty now it's my turn to fight for him. Unfortunately, seiko was diagnosed with two tumors one by his heart and one in his neck. I had an MRI done and found out that he has chemodectoma and a Carotid paraganglioma. He Is currently seeing the oncologist at fetch but I'm trying to get him into the University of Florida today. My baby boy is my whole world. He loves his toys and food but not more than his momma. Seiko loves water or a relaxing day at home. Just the best boy ever! I spent 13k just to have him diagnosed which was all of my savings. I can come up with some more but not all. I'm willing to make payments back if that is an option
(Baby) Reaper Leinonen
(Baby) Reaper Leinonen is a 2-year-old DSH Kitten in Land O Lakes, FL, who needs $2,000 for Flushing Crystals in Bladder Catheterization.
Land O Lakes, FL
My grandson names him Reaper when his wife found this tiny, scorched paws, tuxedo little kitten next to the tire of her car. She nursed him with store bought bottles and kitty formula. I took over after a few months and couldn't help but call him baby. I got him vaccinated and neutered and joined him in with my house of 4 other cats. He had the most wonderful demeanor he was loving and playful, he soon made a best friend of my neighbors kitten. He was having such a joyful life. 2021 was such a happy time for him, then, out of nowhere my neighbors kitten disappeared. It was heartbreaking. Baby looked for his buddy for months. He became so lonely. Then in April 2022 he devastatingly fractured his growth plate in his hip, he needed an FHO which is partial removal of his left upper femur. I loved him so much by then I went into debt to pay for the surgery and drove him all the way to Orlando for this. The next couple of months I nursed him through this gave him physical therapy. He rebounded and I once again saw that sweet kitten I met months earlier. Now comes July 2022 he gets given another horrible blow a urinary tract infection. Vet bills again. He suffers through and seems to be on the mend when the UTI returns with critical outcome. He's in a life or death crossroads. He needs hospitalized and serious medical intervention 4300 dollars worth. He is at C. A. R. E Still in debt from his FHO earlier this year I again choose to go into further debt so little life can continue. I cried so hard I did not want him to be euthanized because I had no money, please anything will help.
Cheif
Cheif is a 2-month-old in Clearwater, FL, who needs $2,000 for Parvo.
Clearwater, FL
My family bought this sweet boy from a couple and has been in our lives for the past 2 weeks. He is 9 weeks old and his name is Chief. Chief has two siblings, Baylee and Cash who are living with us in a home. Chief sleeps with his brother and sisters on a bed together. All of the dogs love each other and is so sweet. Chief is an amazing puppy who loves his siblings and loves our family. He enjoys cuddling up to you and giving kisses. He loves chewing on toys and loves running around getting his puppy energy out. He loves sharing his toys with his siblings and enjoys laying in the sun while he chews on his toys. I am amazed by how our puppy sits on our bed and watches TV with us on the bed. He also loves kids and enjoys being around my children and sleeps with them like he is protecting them. Whenever the kids get home from school, he immediately runs to them and gives them kisses. He makes our family complete. We bought the puppy from a couple who lied about his shot records and sold us a sick puppy. We took him to C.A.R.E- Clearwater Animal Referral and Emergency and they stated he tested positive for parvo, which is a life-threatening disease that could kill my puppy if I don't cover the cost of his medical treatment. I can't cover the medical expense that they want in full. I just simply cannot come up with 2,000 in about a week. I am working on my credit so I am unable to take out a loan to cover the vet bill.
Oscar Blue
Oscar Blue is a 2-year-old Lab/Pit Mix in Pinellas Park, FL, who needs $1,500 for Surgery for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy.
Pinellas Park, FL
I had gone petless after my last dog was killed by a hit & run driver. My Granddaughter's little Pit was "tagged" by her neighbor's Chocolate Lab. She only had 2 pups & I fell in love with Blu as soon as I saw him. My Granddaughter couldn't keep him with a baby on the way. Blu came home with me when he was 8 weeks old & has been my constant companion. Blu is never far from me. He sleeps under my bed. He's a big boy so I had to get risers so he would fit. He loved to play fetch, splashing in his pool & going for rides. Blu lays in the sun watching me garden. I think he likes our kitchen the best. I've noticed when my BP goes up he's right by my side. I know I'm safe with Blu by my side. I'm retired and living on Social Security of about $800.00 a month & food stamps. After paying rent, car insurance & essentials, I'm pretty broke. Normal expenses I can handle. But thinking of Blu being in pain & can't play like he wants, hurts so much. I have to help him. As Blu got older I noticed he was walking stiff legged. One day, when he couldn't get up, we took him to SPCA Tampa Bay Vet. Center. Dr. R. Schiess had X-rays done. They sent me to Clearwater Animal Referral & Emergency. Dr. R. Hurt diagnosed Blu with TPLO in both knees. Blu is on pain meds, fish oil, glucosamine & chondroitin until I can get the money for his surgery. We don't get out much but he has made a couple of buddies on his walks. When we go to PetsMart he likes meeting new dogs. Blu likes to chase anything that is in the sky, birds, planes, fireworks, lighting. He likes to talk to the mail carrier, or anyone. HIs size scares people but he really is very friendly.
