Disabled Veteran Puppy Fund
Donation protected
Zoey is now home. However, we are still fundraising for the initial veterinary care, such as spaying.
As of Sept 4th, we've made $180 of our $1000 goal. We thank every donor who has sent funds.
The story:
My sister Jenny is a single mother, and disabled veteran. Recently, her cherished English Bulldog, Izzy, passed away. This dog was instrumental in her recovery for double breast cancer and surgery, and was a perfect support animal for her battle against MS.
She needs help to buy a new dog. Please consider a small donation today. The breeder is asking $2,500.
Like Izzy, this new puppy will be an emotional support animal.
In some juridictions, there is no distinction between an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) and a Service Animal (SA). But there is a difference in them. An ESA provided emotional support to their person, whereas a SA performs a specified task for their person. Tasks can include calming a person suffering from PTSD, to reminding their person to take their medication.
Jenny has suffered from PTSD, Severe Anxiety, and Depression. She also has Multiple Sclerosis. Jenny is also a cancer survivor.
An ESA would be greatly beneficial for her, but on her limited disability income she can't afford to buy one on her own. That is where your help comes in. Every donation will go towards the cost of this puppy, and initial veterinary care.
An English Bulldog is an excellent choice for Jenny as an emotional support animal. Due to MS, she often has difficultly walking or chronic pain. An English bulldog, a gentle companion, prefers to walk at a slower gait. The tend to be lazy. Due to stature, they often need to be born by c-section.
Jenny already has a puppy on hold. We need your help to be able to bring her home.
Thank you.
