Campaign Details
As healthy as Doodles looks in her photo, she's a very sick girl.
She came into rescue as a foster with American Maltese Association Rescue(AMAR) from North Carolina. She originally came from a home where she was severely matted, and had ear mites and an eye infection. A couple who got her out of there, had her treated for those ailments, but they then found out she might have PDA and they couldn't afford the surgery because of their own health issues. They then contacted rescue. She was taken into AMAR in Virginia, by her foster mom, Peggy, and brought to a cardiologist on 7/24, where an echocardiogram was done and diagnosis was confirmed. They are recommending surgery to correct the vessel malfunction.
AMAR cannot imagine not helping this puppy, so we have given a commitment to the surgery, scheduled to be performed on Monday, July 31 at 8am. But we've taken in many dogs who need costly medical procedures lately and this is a very expensive surgery. The amount we're asking for also covers the cardio exam that took place. And that's why we're coming to you. Please make a donation to help Doodles get her life-saving surgery. The cardiologist believes she will lead a normal life if she has this operation. Please donate any amount you can and remember to put up your dog's photo or your name on the grid to show Doodles some love. We hope you will share this and encourage your friends and family to do so, too. It's tax deductible!
