Lazarus
Lazarus is a 7 month old German Shepherd Dog in Columbia, SC, who needs $10,000 for Fracture Surgery.
Columbia, SC
After our previous dogs passed, we were looking to foster a dog when someone reached out with concerns that if he was not adopted they would have to euthanize his litter due to lack of resources and space at local shelters. He quickly made his way into our home and healed our hearts from our previous loss. Lazarus has lived a beautiful life of running and jumping like most puppies do but somehow fractured his leg and now is in need of surgery at CVETS Columbia Veterinary Emergency Trauma and Specialty. He absolutely loves our children and enjoys antagonizing the neighborhood dogs by sitting in front of the fence and ignoring them. It makes all of the dogs around the neighborhood want to bark more to get his attention and he knows it! His fellow rescue companion our cat Pumpkin Bean is his best friend and they spend all day arguing over attention yet cannot go the day without seeing one another. We are a military family currently preparing for a huge move across the country and do not have the financial stability or ability to pay for surgery. His xrays alone are detrimental to our finances right now. His health means the world to us but we need help to help him.
Azzaria
Azzaria is a 4 month old Argentine Dogo in Columbia, SC, who needs $3,500 for Intensive Care.
Columbia, SC
We came about Azaria from our oldest dogs owner. She was the sister to the second litter. We’ve had her now for total of eight weeks. She is four months old. She’s very spunky and we love her so much. She’s part of our family. we also have her sister. Our sweet Azaria was stung by a yellow jacket last Thursday. It sent her into anaphylactic shock which Banfield hospital overlooked. We rushed her CVETS Saturday because she wasn’t eating or getting any better with the medications they sent home. It’s now an emergency situation where she has to be hospitalized to get a feeding tube IV treatments to make it. Are sweet Azaria has her sister and brother here. What’s her sister is miserable because she can’t play with her. I miss her waking me up in the morning with her licks. She’s loved both of my grandkids. This is something that’s from on us unexpectedly. In the last three days, we’ve exhausted all of our funds that we had saved, which was $1500. It would mean the world to us to have our baby back. She’s a big part of our family and my grandkids life.
Nyla
Nyla is a 2.5 Year Old Chihuahua in West Columbia, SC, Who Needs $7,000 for Orthopedic Bone Fusion Surgery with Screw Implants.
West Columbia, SC
I received Nyla as a gift from my then boyfriend as a means of therapy for my chronic pain. She instantly warmed my heart and became part of the family. She gets along great with her cat and dog siblings and is a very high energy pup. Make no mistakes, she loves to cuddle. Especially when my pain doesn't allow me to leave my room for days at a time. She warms my heart and keeps my spirits high. Nyla was attacked in or near her home by another dog which lead to puncher wounds in her chest, head and paws. She received care for those wounds but it uncovered a surprise. Nyla wasn't limping due to a minor change injury. X rays show her pelvic is broken in two places. She is still able to stand and hop but has to stay heavily medicated due to her pain. The vet said surgery or euthinization. Nyla is the queen of the castle. The smallest in the yard but all follow her lead. We nick name her cat-dog because she loves hanging and napping with the cats. She loves walking the neighborhood and meeting new friends. Being that this is a complicated surgery only performed by a few, the cost ranges from 5 to 7k. Too much for any average person. I don't want to put down a spunky pup who still has the will to strive.
Darla
Darla is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Charleston , SC, who needs $2,000 for Chemotherapy.
Charleston, SC
I lost my older brother in 2017 and got Doobie my ESA shortly after. I wanted him to have a friend and as an extremely submissive sweet boy, it proved difficult to find the right addition to the pack.Darla came into the mix in 2021 and added so much personality to our lives. Recently they've had to be put in foster care while I find a place to stay. Darla started having problems with lymph node abscesses in September. In mid Oct she began to stop eating and lost a lot of weight and the vet was struggling to find a solution. Took her to another vet and right away they suspected cancer. An oncologist confirmed the diagnosis Tues and without chemo, her life is going to be cut far too short. Darla is a sour patch kid to the tee. She brings spunky sassy energy to the table but deep down she's a lover. She expresses her excitement and dissatisfaction by making "monster noises" as my buddy's kids say. Grunting and huffing and puffing her way into your heart. She's become Doobies protector and occasionally lets him feel like he's in charge. She's a vital piece to our family puzzle. Ive struggled with maintaining enough income to cover my living expenses and after almost 1000 in vet bills, I'm out of funds to cover anything other than palliative treatment. She needs chemo to have any chance of beating this cancer!
Belladonna
Belladonna is a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher in Lexington, SC, who needs $600 for Emergency Vet Visit Started on IV Treatment.
Lexington, SC
Belladonna is a rescue from a former neighbor who much larger dog was trying to end her. Currently she is in a great environment and spoiled rotten daily with all the toys, play time, and fresh made good she wants This is an emergency situation, she got sick yesterday with vomiting, diarrhea, lethargic, refuses to eat, and now has had a grand mal seizure at home before rushing her to the vet. She is currently being treated at CVets in West Columbia SC. Belladonna is the light of our lives. She is our best friend and cuddle buddy. She maybe a small dog but personality is massive. Any person she meets she instantly wants to be their best friend and show them love. This is a sudden expensive for us and in between our pay days. She was perfectly fine and happy Friday, Saturday we just thought it was an upset tummy, and now we are terrified that we are going to lose her. I can't lose my little girl.
Leroy
Leroy is a 7 year old Shetland Sheepdog in Sumter, SC, who needs $4,000 for CT Scan.
Sumter, SC
I was sitting at a Gamecock women's basketball game watching Aja wilson play when a Lady popped up on a dog rescue page wanting to get rid of him because she couldn't care for him. I drove 6 hours that night to pick him up. He was 10 weeks old when I got him. Leroy has 1 older sister (Layla) and 1 younger brother (Louie). He is named after a Jim Croce song ( bad bad Leroy Brown) Leroy woke up not being himself at all. So I took him to to Emergency vet CVETS. They ran blood, did x-rays, did a tap to draw blood and sent that to pathology. The x-rays show a mass in his lungs. So now the next step is a CT scan and move forward from that. Leroy,Lrod, loud mouth, bad bad Leroy brown is my very special pup. He is such a sweet soul would never hurt a fly. He is very vocal talks to you about everything. Has busted a ear drum or two with his high pitch:) He is my foodie dog loves his treats. Loves water and car rides. He is nothing but hair but hates a hair brush. Loves to herd with his nose. You couldn't ask for a better personality. I know alot of folks ask for help. Which is not something I thought I would ever have to do. I spent $3,000 the first night at the vet for the initial testing. Now the CT scan is going to be $3,000 -$4,000. So we can move forward and get my boy better again.
Ethel
Ethel is a 4 month old Mix-Breed in Augusta, GA, who needs $10,000 for Critical Care for Sepsis.
Augusta, GA
Ethel was born in foster care on March 4, 2025. Her mother and all of her siblings were adopted quickly, but she stayed in foster care for 3 months before we came across her. In foster care, she bonded with another kitten, chickadee, who we also ended up adopting. They are sisters in everything but blood. Ethel loves to play, cuddle, and chirp at her sister. Ethel started vomiting and having diarrhea, so we immediately took her to the vet. They told us to take her to CVETS hospital in Columbia, SC due to suspicion for a bowel blockage. She developed sepsis and has been in the hospital for 4 nights and will likely have to stay longer. Ethel is a funny, adorable, and loving kitten. Although we haven’t had her for long, she has made a lasting impact on our hearts. We miss her terribly and are hoping she can pull through this and live a full and healthy life. Currently, our vet total is at $10,000 and will continue to increase the longer she has to stay in the hospital. We are willing to pay anything to get our baby healthy, but we are struggling with the rising cost. Any donation would help us greatly <3
Sadie
Sadie is a 4 year old Miniature Australian Shepherd in Saluda, SC, who needs $2,000 for Hospitalization for Parvo.
Saluda, SC
Sadie is the girl that came into our lives when we weren’t even looking, but the moment we saw her we knew she was ours. I fell in love with her off the bat and flew across the country to bring her home - something I never could have imagined doing, but she was worth it! She’s been a part of our family since she was 8 weeks old, and is the best girl to my kiddos and my personal best pup friend. We left Sadie home on Friday to celebrate a birthday party, and came home to a scenario that we could never have imagined. I drove her straight to the emergency vet where she was diagnosed with parvo and was told her chances were not optimistic without hospitalization which our hopes are to achieve through funding, and bring her in to CVETS for the intensive care she requires. Sadie is truly the best girl. She is loyal to no end and always stays by my side, my silent little comrade in every day who doesn’t have an ounce of mischief in her. She plays with my toddlers constantly, with the sweetest most gentle demeanor and then will split away to come snuggle with me on the couch. Due to being right in the middle of job transitions, our funds have been tight suddenly and although we were willing to empty every last dime for her initial treatment, we have devastatingly run out and can’t afford the intensive care needed through hospitalization.
Helen
Helen is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Johnsonville, SC, who needs $2,000 for Epilepsy Seizures Treatment.
Johnsonville, SC
Helen was found wandering the street with her daughter. She is blind, so she was using her daughter as a guide dog. She got attacked by another dog that bit her tail, and it ended up having to be amputated. She has started having focal seizures and we need to get her to a specialist ASAP but funds are an issue. Please help me save my girl! She was on basic medication, and it was doing good until she started having a different type of focal seizure which is more aggressive, and she needs to go see a neurologist asap! Blind and having aggressive focal seizures aggressively and needs a neurologist to save her life. She has a forever home with me and is my baby girl. We’ve had her two months after a rough start at Kure and deserves the world. I am a foster and have cut back to work to be at home to suite her needs and have spent a lot into saving her so far including her tail amputation surgery.
Shadow
Shadow is a 1 year old Labrador Retriever in Sumter, SC, who needs $2,000 for Mandibular Fracture Repair.
Sumter, SC
Shadow is a male mixed-breed dog, specifically half Labrador Retriever and half Foxhound. He currently resides in Sumter, South Carolina, with his loving human family. He enjoys playing in their fenced backyard and going for walks in the neighborhood. Shadow was traumatically injured today after being struck by a car.

He's incredibly affectionate, always eager for cuddles on the couch. With the kids, he's patient and tolerant, often letting them dress him up or involve him in their games. He has a knack for knowing when someone is feeling down and wi Our hearts are breaking. The overwhelming cost of Shadow's urgent surgery at CVETS is something we simply can't manage on our own. Losing him because we can't afford to save him is an unbearable thought. Having our sweet boy healthy again would mean everything – he's family,
Toto
Toto is a 12 year old Mix-Breed in Elgin, SC, who needs $2,000 for Eye Removal.
Elgin, SC
While on active duty in Phoenix, I rescued Toto, a tiny abandoned puppy. I didn’t know then how much he would mean to me. Through deployments, my kids leaving home, and 29 surgeries, Toto stayed by my side, offering unwavering support. Toto is support system and best friend….. This happened while we were out of town. We are currently 3 hours away on our way back to take him to CVETS emergency services…..this costs thousands of dollars usually and I am afraid I will not be able to pay it and make ends meet please help us. Toto is a force to be reckoned woth. His favorite toy is stuffed lambs he loves to destroy them. He is also the best snuggler on the planet and will lay on tour chest under your covers for Hours. Toto also has a wild side we named scrappy doo when it comes out and shows itself lol. I am 100% disabled and run a nonprofit supporting veterans, first responders, and adaptive athletes. We also started a gym as a small business to further this mission. Despite working 18-hour days, funds are extremely limited. Savings Toto would mean everything to my family.
Isadora
Isadora is a 3 month old Bloodhound in Winnsboro, SC, who needs $2,000 for Hospitalization, Oxygen, Meds with IV fluids.
Winnsboro, SC
My mom's bloodhound had a huge litter of puppies in November. We ended up getting two of them Isadora got her name because mom caller her the explorer of the group. She is adventurous and fearless. We love her so much. She is a big, rambunctious girl at 3 months old. There was an accident tonight with her brother's mouth getting stuck in her collar while playing. It cut off her oxygen while we were trying to get him loose. The vet is saying she has post-obstructive lung edema, basically a backup of fluid in her lungs. This requires a hospital stay with oxygen and medication that can cost up to $5,000 or more. We just can't afford something like that. She is the most loveable and hyperactive pup. She loves to give kisses and snuggles. She also does her best to outsnore her brother. They love to play, eat, and sleep. They do everything to the max. We just went through a surprise pregnancy that ended with a missed miscarriage and D&C. I also just got hit with a huge federal tax bill since I started working a second job last year. There's no way we could come up with that kind of money.

November 2024 he was put on additional medicine for excessive coughing. His condition is getting worse, and he is in desperate need of an echocardiogram to further treat his congestive heart failure. Zeus is loving, playful and gentle When we travel to the store or anywhere, people will stop just to pet him or compliment how handsome he is or what a sweet dog he is He has a very kind disposition and loves to be cuddled and rubbed The medicine he takes is very costly The recent medication for cough cost 127 per month My personal health has changed as well I too have congestive heart failure in addition to being diabetic and hypertensive, and as a result have experience severe health conditions

Columbia, SC
Our baby came into our life at seven weeks old. We live in South Carolina. It’s my husband and I. Gen Gen is our only baby. She is the smartest dog. She has a very wide vocabulary. Sometimes we have to spell around her. when we’re on the phone you can tell she’s sometimes listening to the conversation and knows when we’re talking about her, she loves car rides, and she loves traveling. Gen Gen has been healthy until about 3 months ago. She went to the vet for her semi annual appointment. She has not been right since that day in Oct her urine has turned brown and her liver test have been coming back terrible. She was ref from the vet to an emergency room. They wanted to keep her impatient, but the cost would have been around $8000, we chose outpt treatment which has not helped. She is the light of our life. My husband is a disabled veteran. Everybody is concerned about what would happen to him if something ever happened to Gen Gen. We are senior citizens and she picks up if we are not feeling well that day. She is so smart. She rings a bell. If there is something she wants, we have a bell hanging on the door knob. We are on a fixed income. It would mean the world to us to have her healthy again. She had a ultrasound and does not have a tumor. She has either a bad infection or serious inflammation. Treatment could run up to $5000.
Cooter
Cooter is a 2 year old Dalmatian in williston, SC, who needs $2,000 for TECA Total Ear Canal Ablation.
williston, SC
Cooter and his brother Bo where found by a couple with a litter of their siblings and mother (Dalmation) tied up under a trailer during a very hard freeze. The couple rescued them, but the entire litter was too much for them, so we purchased two for our boys. Cooter has bad growths affecting both of his ears (imagine cauliflower ear but on the inside) and requires (2) TECA (total ear canal ablation). We had hoped the steroids, ear flushes, and liquid medicines would work, however, they proved ineffective. Cooter, Bo, and Daisy have become attached, nearly physically, to our three boys. They follow them everywhere and often sleep on them. They are also quite fond of Heathen, our cat. Each dog has a personality that emulates one of the boys, Cooter being the stoic alpha of the pack that occassionally exposes his silly side. They are physical and emotional guardians. This is simply an unexpected expense at the holidays, or anytime. We prepared ourselves to expect around $3k for surgery, but and additional $5k was just a shock. We shamefully wondered if we should allow someone else to adopt him who could afford treatment for his sake.
Coco
Coco is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Columbia, SC, who needs $2,000 for Plate Placed for Broken Leg.
Columbia, SC
Coco was giving to me by my therapist for emotional support! She has been the most amazing Dog ever. She’s also my first pet I’ve ever had my whole life. Coco lives with me and my husband! We got her when she just 8 weeks old. She’s the sweetest girl in the world. She loves to play and is super energetic. She’s so comforting Coco had an accident and is needing surgery on her back leg. She broke free from her collar as we were taking her outside and jumped from a few stairs. Her back leg is broken completely and has broken skin. The surgery is costing us a good bit of money and we don’t have the financial means right now. The total cost is 7,641$ we have to pay 50% of that in order to start the surgery. Coco is very special she has help me with my diabetes and she can sense when my blood sugar is dropping. She has supported me during my times of depression. She will always come lay next to me or jump in my lap whenever she can tell I’m feeling down or spending so much time in the bed. She truly has been such a blessing to me. She loves people and very playful. We just moved to the area and my husband is still looking for stable income right now. So we are living off of one source of income. We barely can pay rent as is but I’m hoping that some one could help us pay for Coco’s surgery
Prinz
Prinz is a 5 year old Dachshund in College Park, MD, who needs $2,000 for Back Surgery.
College Park, MD • Little Paws Dachshund Rescue
Little Paws Dachshund Rescue Five-year-old Prinz's owners took him to the vet to be euthanized after being diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). They didn't want to spend the money on surgery, nor care for a paralyzed dog, so euthanasia it was. Thankfully, the vet knew Prinz was not a lost cause and that IVDD is not a death sentence. The vet convinced the owners to surrender Prinz to Little Paws Dachshund Rescue. Little Paws got Prinz scheduled for surgery, but the neurologist became very concerned as she was about to operate. Not only had Prinz lost function of his hind, his loss of sensation was creeping up his spine to his ribcage. She told them the worst possibility: Prinz's spinal cord may be dead from his accident, but with no medical intervention, he would soon lose all bodily functions and die. They then needed to conduct an MRI, which showed a bad lower disc rupture AND an old upper disc rupture. It also showed that Prinz's spinal cord is very much alive! Little Paws wanted to try giving this sweet little one a chance at walking again and alleviating some of his deep pain, so they moved forward with the surgery. Prinz is now in his foster home recovering with lots of love. They are waiting for signs of him walking again. Little Paws will continue to monitor his recovery and spoil him with love. Please consider donating to support Prinz's medical journey!
Emmy
Emmy is a two-year old Domestic Shorthair cat in Lexington, SC, who needs $2,000 for emergency care.
Lexington, SC • For the Love of Street Dogs
* For the Love of Street Dogs * No one knows what pure hell Emmy endured before For the Love of Street Dogs saved her from the brink of death. She encountered humanity at its worst. "Emmy was found with an unidentifiable substance on her face and parts of her head and body shaved," Manuela S., with the rescue group, tells Waggle. "A clear case of abuse; For the Love of Street Dogs knew they had to help this sweet soul that had been through so much." Emmy is hospitalized, receiving compresses on her face, pain meds, IV fluids, and antibiotics. The mystery substance is starting to break off, but it is a very slow process. She is now able to open her eyes, and her veterinarian found they're damaged from the abuse she suffered. Emmy didn't want to eat, so she received a feeding tube to ensure she got enough calories and nutrition. "Despite everything this poor girl has been through, she is still an absolute sweetheart," Manuela says. "She loves cuddles, pets, and even makes biscuits. Her resilience is astounding." For the Love of Street Dogs works to build a community where people value animals and treat them respectfully and kindly. Emmy is a heartbreaking case, but they are determined to provide all the care she needs to be healthy, no matter the cost. Please help the nonprofit group rehabilitate Emmy so she can live the rest of her life knowing only love and care! Update - a week after hospitalization Her o2 stats are good, she had a feeding tube placed so we can make sure she gets nutrition, she is not eating enough. She has been sedated today so she was so very tired. They did remove some of the substance out of her nose. It’s hard on her, this lil sweet thing did not deserve this. No animal should ever endure what Emmy endured and still has to endure. Once she can eat right on her own things will look up for her. Update 8/5/24: Emmy's ET tube is out! She has gained weight and her wounds are healing nicely. She's still recovering but overall Emmy has made immense progress. Update 8/10/24: Emmy continues to do well! Her wounds are healing nicely and much of her fur has grown back. She is even off all medications! She is such a sweet, beautiful cat and we are so happy she has made such progress. We are hopeful she will be ready for her forever home soon.

Odie
Odie is a 10-year-old Bloodhound in Manning, SC, who needs $2,000 for Oral Melanoma (Aggressive) Surgery.
Manning, SC
After losing my 13-year-old lab and a large piece of my heart in 2013, I made the decision to get another dog (friend). In February of 2014, a beautiful red, floppy eared, bloodhound puppy came bounding into my life and heart. It was love at first sight! I had picked out a couple of possible names but Odie just seemed to fit. I have been Odie's "Pa" for 10 years and what a time we have had! Odie loves to take long daily walks and hikes which are typically 3 miles in length. His nose is his guide and is most often on the ground. He is well known in his neighborhood and is often stopped by children and adults for a pat on the head. Odie loves being the center of attention! At 115 lbs., he is a gentle giant! His family adores him and his liquid sugar which he slings everywhere!:) Odie is loved beyond measure and spoiled rotten! He is a devoted friend, companion, comforter, and soulmate. Odie is a talker and singer (see his video). He snores and takes long naps. He drools and slings slobber everywhere! He loves belly rubs and lying in the sun. He whines when his "Pa" leaves and howls with joy when he returns. He loves to be kissed, especially on his snout!: ) Odie was diagnosed with an oral melanoma in his cheek in October of 2023. He was referred to CVETS and Dr. Sarah Kraiza (oncologist). He has had a complete body CT scan (which revealed no spread), surgery to remove the mass, and three rounds of Torigen, a melanoma vaccine that uses the dogs tumor to create an individualized vaccine. A new mass has appeared and will be removed on January 8, 2024. I have spent my savings on Odie's treatment. This new surgery will cost an additional $3,000. Words can not describe the love I have for him and what it would mean to me to continue to do for him what I know he would do for me. I can not imagine my life without him!

Lovable Paws Rescue Sanctuary picked him up and raced him to the emergency animal hospital. The staff discovered he was covered in infected wounds, emaciated, and needed immediate hospitalization to keep him alive. "We can only imagine what he's been through or where he came from," Steve A., with the rescue, tells Waggle. "Taylor must have gone weeks without food. He is a fighter and isn't giving up." The rescue hopes you'll help in Taylor's fight! They are racking up a huge hospital bill and need to pay his tab. With your assistance, Taylor's gut-wrenching story can have a happy ending in 2023! "We can't wait to see his miraculous transformation," Steve says. "I know we just went through the holidays, but anything you can give to help with this baby, we would appreciate. Thank you again for the support!"
Jeff
Jeff is a 4-year-old Boxer in Sumter, SC, who needs $2,000 for CCL SURGERY.
Sumter, SC
My baby Jeff, short for Jefferson, was the family dog until I moved out and took him with me! He is now living in a 2 story townhouse with his 2 feline siblings. He has a little doggie bed that is off the ground and he loves it. It’s completed with 2 fluffy blankets that he sleeps on every night! He sits on the bed otherwise. When Jeff was a family dog he was the center of attention. Nothing has changed, he is attached at the hip and loves car rides with his mama! He is nothing but a furry, soft bundle of love. He’s been my rock in the toughest times and is always excited to greet anyone at the door. He has a sweet disposition and loves to eat more than he loves to run and play! Jeff loves to go on his back and waggle around while looking at you with an insane look in his eyes. Especially after making the bed, as soon as I’m done ticking and folding you can bet he’d get himself up there to mess it all up! I think to him he was just breaking it in, and gracing us with his natural musk! Jeff has always been in good shape and healthy. He fell off the bed a month or two ago and apparently tore his CCL. I finally took him to the emergency vet where I discovered this. My baby can’t walk and is constantly in pain and visually depressed. He fell down the stairs this morning and I broke down. I feel unable to help my baby. He can’t run or jump or even walk. I work in sales and the economy took a hit right as I started. I make $1800 a month before taxes. I just want Jeff to be happy and be able bodied. I don’t even care if he’s with me at this point, I just want him to have a good life again and I’d do anything for that.

Twelve years ago my husband and I adopted Leo. I knew I would love Leo when we walked into the tiny trailer he lived in. He jumped up on me to say hello, put his front paws on my chest and almost knocked me backwards out of the trailer. It was not aggression; we could tell he was being his goofy self. I knew right from the start that this was an interesting dog and I was hooked. Everybody we know loves Leo. His beautiful brown eyes and sweet playful nature has endeared him to our family, friends and neighbors. We have had some hard times and there was Leo, always ready to comfort us. He always knows when any of us are upset and he tries to make us feel better. He is almost more like a human than a dog. As a young dog, he could jump so high in the air that it looked like he was sailing thru the air when playing catch. He had the ability to resemble a deer jumping when running in our yard. The neighborhood kids loved watching him. Leo’s antics over the years has given us so much laughter and joy. He is a good watch dog, loves children and is just a wonderful, good all around dog. Leo was diagnosed with Lymphoma Type B in November 2021and a secondary eye infection that caused him to be partially to mostly blind. The prognosis for his eyesight returning is guarded. He is undergoing chemotherapy and seeing an eye specialist at CVETS hospital in Columbia, S.C His chemo sessions are almost ended and hopefully will cause the cancer to go into remission. My husband and I are retired, on Social Security and we have almost run out of our savings paying for Leo’s treatment. Paying for continuing treatment will be very hard for us. We cannot imagine our lives without him. We estimate the remaining cost to at $2,000.

lexington, SC
I adopted Emma on 4/17/2021 from a shelter and we have had her for 3 months now. My children chose her name. I thought it was too human but God confirmed her name. I got an email from a pet insurance agency and the email sender's name was Emma. Then I knew it was her name. That was no coincidence for me! My furbaby loves to play with strings. When shes hungry she will sit right by her bowls and stare at me patiently, sometimes I will get a friendly cute meow. Her favorite places to sleep are above our heads when we are sleeping or with my children's stuff animals. Her favorite is the one that vibrates. It makes me so sad and frustrated to hear my pet be so congested. Her breathing is so loud and I can't imagine what its like to always be congested. I'm a single mom with 3 children and because of COVID my hours have lessened which means I come home with very little. My pet has a upper respiratory infection. After spending lots of money on medications and trying around ten different medications the vet told us we should sedate her to try and look for polyps. If found they would remove them. I agreed and they found zero polyps. The vet referred me to an urgent care call CVETS where they can give her a CT scan that would cost $2000. My pet loves to watch the rabbits,birds, and lizards on our patio. She gets so excited that she will give a loud meow and run around our home with excitement. She is special because she really is the only cat i've ever met that doesn't scratch or bite people. I noticed her calm nature immediately when meeting her and I fell in love!
