Olive
Olive is a 4 year old Dachshund in Richland, WA, who needs $4,000 for Pseudomonas.
RICHLAND, WA
Olive was rescued off the streets covered in poo and suffering from one of the worst ear infections my vet has ever seen in his entire career. She has been fighting this infection for 7 months, and even though she is a tough girl, it hasn’t been easy. She currently is living her best pup life but we need help treating pseudomonas and Staph infection she is currently fighting. We are being seen at pet medical center of pasco as well as Dermatology at VRCCO in Bend, OR. She is currently on antibiotic drops, steroids and a flush. When we raise enough money they want to go in and clean the ear and see how far the bacteria has spread. Hopefully it has not reached the inner ear. Olive is a spicy talker. She loves to be heard and loves her bed and baby toys. She has this soft long pig, fox and raccoon that she has to cuddle up with every night. She loves belly rubs and going on adventures. She also loves to be by her humans side. We want to give her this second chance at the best life she should have been given from the start! We have been battling this for 7 months and this procedure in Bend is just a huge unexpected bill. We totally understand times are tough, but anything helps.
Bella
Bella is a 7 year old Bengal in Bend, OR, who needs $4,000 for Orthopedic Fracture Repair.
Bend, OR
Hi, my name is Bella and I’m raising funds for my Bengal cat, River. River is only 7 years old and she’s truly my best friend. From the day we brought her home, she’s been glued to my side — she follows me everywhere, sleeps with me, and somehow always knows when I need comfort. River is the sweetest cat you could ever meet. She’s friendly with everyone, gentle, loving, and full of personality. Recently, River suffered a serious injury and broke her back left foot/leg. We've already spent over $3,000 on emergency visits, imaging, and splint changes just trying to keep her stable and comfortable. Now we've been told she needs either surgery or amputation, and the cost is $5,000-$7,000. Watching River struggle has been heartbreaking, I feel sick thinking we might not be able to afford it. River is the sweetest cat you could ever meet. She’s friendly with everyone, gentle, loving, and full of personality. She’s not just a pet in our home — she’s family. She’s my emotional support, my little shadow, and the one constant that’s always there. We’re asking for help so we can give River the medical care she needs and end her pain as soon as possible. My mom and I are doing everything we can, but we're currently struggling financially and we can't afford this on our own. River is young, healthy otherwise, and she deserves the chance to live a long, happy life.
Wilson
Wilson is a 1 year old Dachshund in Redmond, OR, who needs $2,000 for Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO).
Redmond, OR
Wilson, a rescue from Oklahoma, joined us through Street Dog Hero. He has truly been a blessing to our family. We reside in Central Oregon, where Wilson loves to run—fast and free! This super sweet dachshund greets us every morning with a wagging tail and a joyful spirit that brightens everyone’s mood. Wilson, our beloved pet, was injured during a late-night potty break when a deer startled him, resulting in a broken femur that requires immediate surgery. Our family cannot afford the medical costs, as the emergency visit alone exceeded $1,000. Although the Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon recommended surgery and blood tests, financial constraints forced them to send him home. Wilson is an exceptionally loving dog, truly the best companion one could ask for. He has a heart full of affection and races around at incredible speeds, eagerly pursuing leaves and any animal, regardless of their size. His strength and bravery shine through, perhaps a bit too much at times, but our family definitely relies on him. This unexpected expense has taken us by surprise, and regrettably, it’s not something we can manage right now. Both Nicholas and I are balancing two jobs, and this situation has really blindsided us. It would mean everything to us to see our pup healthy and happy again.
Ollie
Ollie is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Bend, OR, who needs $2,000 for Intervertebral Disc Disease.
Bend, OR
Ollie came into our lives as a rescue from my brother, who no longer wanted him. We got him at a year and a half, and he just turned 6 in January. He's been our high speed, big food driven love in our house. He's just my best friend. He's been there through all of my four pregnancies and we're really hoping he will be with us for our others we plan on having. Thank you for reaching about my Ollie. Ollie had something happen to him about 7 weeks ago where now its made his back legs stop functioning; stop functioning happened a day ago. We moved some things around to get the low end of his MRI estimate started today but without help we can't continue how we'd like from what the MRI findings are. He is just the sweetest man you can think of. He loves playing, especially with our other dog (which she has known somethings going on) its sad to see them not play like they always have. He's a water dog but not a bathtub water dog(-: and our littles have turned him into the biggest begger ever. It hurts so much to see my first baby in this much pain. We've been doing all we are able to for our Ollie. We're maxed out with other debts and expenses and being a stay at home mom of four toddlers under four in a single earning household we are at our means. That's why I'm asking for any support so we can continue to help him.
Shane
Shane is a 10 year old Mix-Breed in Moses lake, WA, who needs $2,000 for Mandible.
Moses lake, WA
Shane is my 10 year old, surrounded by his canine relatives. His Mother, Itty Bitty, his Grandmother, Jazzmine, his brothers and sisters from separate litters and one neice. All my females are spayed. As of this writing, Shane had a sarcoma removed by Horse Heaven Hills on October 4th, 2024. It slowly regrew over 4 months as the cancer wasn't cut out completely. I went to Washington State University for three radiation treatments. The flesh is necrotic and I am hoping partial lower jaw removal will extend his comfort and life. Shane was a baby when I moved in 2015 to my current location. Shane is my middle child and represents my attempt at happiness. Shane is still active and as of this writing he doesn't desire euthanasia. Shane is on medications for pain and inflammation. Fixed income is why I desire compassion for Shane...he doesn't deserve this and I'm confident he will be thrilled to exist with a pain free mouth, to continue interacting with his furry family.
Dog
Dog needs $2000 for Spinal Recorrection.
Gold Hill, OR
I have had the pleasure of this awesome spirit named Dog in my life for 5 years. She fell into my life accidentally when my folks got her but realized they had bitten off more than they could chew. She is loyal and even tempered. I have been told that she has the best temperament of any shepherd on many occasions. She is registered as a service animal and is my partner wherever I go. Dog has neverhadany issure until recently when. A roommate accidentally fell on her while she was sleeping. Now she suffers from a broken back and is paralyzed from the point of injury on down. Her surgery is estimated at $9,300 and I must drive across the state to the clinic. She is with me every second of every day and she loves to go for a ride in the truck. She is calm mannered and loyal to the end. We both have developed a bond that is incomparable to any other either of us had in this life. We live in Gold Beach, Oregon which is a small town on the Northwest Pacific coast. There are under 3,000 people who live here and it's hard to make a living when the economy is stifled with low wages and lesser pay than a larger community. The estimated cost is $9,300.
Molly Moo
Molly Moo is a 14 year old Australian Cattle Dog in Eatonville, WA, who needs $2,000 for Liver Lobectomy Operation.
Eatonville, WA
When my path led me to Molly, I wasn't necessarily looking to add a "pet" to my life. I was 17, just starting out on my own. I met her out on a horse farm. Molly was about 14 weeks old. She was very shy, not the typical pup. I cant explain it, but I adored her the moment I saw her. Molly is my only dog and it's always been just us, adventuring. Moo is much more than a pet, she's my closest friend. Molly was diagnosed with primary cancer of the liver on 4.2.25, she needs an operation to remove the mass that was found in order to save her life. They also found a small bleed that's most likely caused from the mass that needs to be addressed. She's 14, but has been very healthy and happy until the last month when she rapidly declined. The operation needs to be done asap for the best outcome. Molly throughout her life has blossomed into this silly, wild, incredibly smart being. We joke she is like a Sour Patch Kid. Standoffish but then so very sweet. She loves to hike in the mountains, raft wild rivers, play fetch and dig giant holes at the beach, roll around and slide on her belly in the snow, soak in hot springs, swim and camp. We have seen so much together, she's my everything. I was seriously injured and couldn't walk for six months and couldn't be independent for a year. It's left me disabled and unable to work. Unfortunately because of the strain my medical bills put on us, we are having a hard time coming up with the sum needed to help her.
Finleigh
Finleigh is a 6.5 year old Newfoundland in Bend, OR, who needs $2,000 for Entropian Surgery.
Bend, OR
I got Finleigh to be my Service dog as my other one was getting up in age (now deceased). Went through a hard divorce and am living now in a Travel Trailer, but it works. At 6 months old she broke her ankle, had bone chips in her elbows removed and has had 2 Entropian surgeries. Unfortunately she requires now a 3rd eye surgery to eliminate damage to her eyes. Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon will do the surgery Finleigh is a sister to 2 other dogs. My Golden U'iLani and my Newfoundland Bryghton who is training to become a service dog. Finleigh is a big, 160lb love bug. Finleigh is a Blood Donor dog as well as my Service dog and a Pet therapy dog. I am medically disabled with a significant back injury. Went through a divorce after being moved to OR from my home in San Diego. I just want my girl to be pain free and to see without goop or rubbing her eyes all the time. We just need a little help and I hate asking
Jewels
Jewels is a 10 year old English Springer Spaniel in Richland, , who needs $2,000 for Adrenalectomy.
Richland
Jewels was diagnosed with Cushings on 7/11/24. She had an ultrasound on 7/22/24 that showed a tumor on her left adrenal gland. Her primary vet referred us to Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon. There she has undergone an 2nd ultrasound & full body CT scan. The results showed a tumor on her left adrenal gland. The recommendation is to remove it before it before it becomes worse. We are looking to raise $ to cover the cost of her care. She is having surgery at VRCCO. So far the fees have been $2757.40 for the CT scan. The surgery low estimate is $5811.68. We have also had to stay in a hotel for 2 nights. Plus there will be fees later for follow up stuff. Jewels is my first English Springer Spaniel. I wanted a dog to do AKC Rally, Obedience & Scent Work and have fun with. Jewels as far exceeded my expectations. Sheri’s a Rally Champion and has many other titles. She loves to play frisbee, ball & bubbles and loves swimming & paddle boarding. Most people see her and think she is 3-4 YO when in fact she is 10. This is a sudden major expense that has shocked us. I want the best for my girl and to see her happy & healthy again out playing bubbles and all the fun stuff. We still have a it to do together.
Happy
Happy is a 4 year old St. Bernard in Lapine, OR, who needs $800 for Radiographs of Abdomen-3 View, Chemistry Panel w/Lytes.
Lapine, OR
I was in line at a store in Burns, Or & heard the person in front of me say the man that got one of the puppies he breed could no longer handle the dog & they were going to "take him out and shoot him." Knowing only that he was a Saint Bernard' mix I spoke up and said "I'll take the dog." Two days later Happy came into my life and rescued me ❤️ Happy became noticeably ill about 2 weeks ago. I took him to the veterinary referral center in Bend and they believe he has a possible obstruction. So far we have spent about $400. However, he needs abdominal x-rays and blood work to determine if that is indeed the problem. A bowel obstruction can be deadly if not treated quickly. I need approximately 700 more dollars to continue his treatment. Happy is the reason I'm alive today. I was at the lowest point in my life & had given up. Happy wouldn't allow it. He was my guardian angel that day & the only thing that kept me going the last few years. Without him, I don't do well emotionally. I went through a very emotionally abusive relationship that ended in 2022. Since, I have had a difficult time obtaining employment. In March I was awarded Happy in court. My ex took him, left for 6mo to AK, & left Happy w/ a stranger. I just got him back I can't lose him ❤️
