Save Dash

Hi, my name is Ande Edlund & I’ve created this fundraiser for my golden retriever Dash.

** UPDATE: The estimated cost of Dash’s surgery has been met, though there may be additional costs. Funds not used for Dash’s expenses & ongoing care will be donated to the 15/10 Foundation, an organization that supports the medical needs of shelter animals. Please contribute to help Dash & other animals who also need important medical care. Thank you so much **

Dash is 12 years old. He’s my fur kid & is the sweetest, bestest boy. He’s an Instagram celebrity (@dash.dog) & has been bringing smiles to faces for many years. Dash has fundraised for many animal welfare & health organizations, and now we find ourselves needing some fundraising assistance of our own.

On Friday 11/03, Dash was diagnosed with a ventricular arrhythmia (an irregular heartbeat) which can be life-threatening without treatment. Additional exams revealed a significant mass on his spleen. The mass is most likely what’s causing the arrhythmia & has complications of its own… if it bursts, Dash would die quickly.

Dash’s medical team at the WSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital recommended surgery to remove his spleen as soon as possible. Dash is scheduled for a splenectomy on Wednesday 11/08. The estimated cost of the operation is $8,000.

Our financial resources are somewhat limited & it’s humbling to ask for help with Dash’s medical expenses. Any amount you might contribute will be helpful & greatly appreciated. Please help me Save Dash!

Thank you for supporting us, and for supporting shelter animals who require medical attention ♥️
