Clarksvile, TN
Calmness is a 12-year-old dog l've had since 3rd grade as a birthday gift. She's always been full of energy and loved playing with our two other dogs. She lives indoors with me and my family. I'm a junior in college, and I help care for her daily. Since losing her vision, she relies on us more but is still affectionate. We monitor her diabetes and eye condition closely to keep her safe. Calmness was diagnosed with diabetes last August. Soon after, she developed glaucoma and lost her vision almost overnight, which led to the removal of her left eye in November due to pain and damage. She is now dealing with cataracts in her remaining eye, along with ongoing inflammation and recurring infections. She is currently being treated at The Eyes Vets. I'm hoping to get cataract removal. Calmness is full of energy and personality. She's super affectionate and gentle, and she loved playing with our two other dogs. Her favorite thing is tennis balls. She's obsessed with destroying them! Even after losing her vision, she stays loving and always wants attention from the family. She's more than a pet, she's part of the family and always brings joy to the house. I'm a college student, and managing Calmness's diabetes, eye surgery, and ongoing treatments has been really expensive. I can't cover all of it on my own. Having her healthy again would mean everything. It would ease her pain, let her enjoy life like she used to.
Ridge
Ridge is a 4 year old Miniature Schnauzer in Nashville , TN, who needs $2,000 for Cataract Surgery.
Nashville, TN
I adopted Ridge when he was 6 weeks old, he has been with me ever since. He is my first dog and I'm 60. I can't believe I missed out on dog love my whole life. I named him after my grandparents, their last name was Ridge. I have another miniature Schnauzer that is 6 months younger and female. Rosie came from my friend who is 93 and found it was too much for her to take care of a puppy. Ridge started missing the ball when I would throw it. He had a hard time finding the ball. Then, I noticed he started walking into things that are not normally around. My vet referred me to Bellevue Eye vet. He has cataracts, probably genetic due to him being so young. He also has high pressure in one eye. He needs cataracts removed to get his vision back and to keep him from having glaucoma Ridge is the LOVE of my life. I got divorced, and got him. Being older and living alone he brings so much joy. I have health issues and he knows when I am not well and keeps a very close eye on me. He is silly, loves attention and affection. He certainly gives affection back. He use to be friends with all the neighbors. However, he can no longer see them when we go for walks. I am divorced, living alone on a fixed income. If Ridge has his vision back, he could see my eyes and how much I love him. He would no longer bump into things, be scared,we could go to dog parks, play ball in the back yard. We can no longer do anything outside our area.
