Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm coming to ask for help with my brother's pup, Cheese. My brother got cheese in 2019 to help stave off loneliness in an apartment by himself. Cheese came from an ad in the paper, and initially had a different name. However, my son was giving him treats and said his breath smelled like cheese. The name stuck. Cheese had a pretty rough start in life, being given up because his original owners had a baby and didn't have time for a puppy. My brother has had him since, and he's a huge part of our family. Everyone loves cheese and the faithful companionship he provides In late February 2026, Cheese got what my brother and sister-in-law noticed as just a watery eye. Thinking he perhaps got into some pollen or something while playing around in his backyard. They took him to the vet a couple of days later, and the vet put him on some opthalmic drops. He never got better. The next visit, the vet said Cheese had Glaucoma and will likely lose his eye. Cheese has been to the vet 5 times since this all started. We know he'll lose his eye. This is very costly, and my family does not have the means to povide their precious family member with the urgent care he needs.

Hey everyone!

Cheese update: He had an appointment yesterday at the ophthalmologist. They let us know that he is now completely blind in both eye. Odds are the vision will NOT come back in his “good” eye. His bad eye now has a deep painful ulcer in it. He will need it removed and the also recommended the other one to be removed too. The surgery is $1900 for 1 eye and $2600 total if we do both eyes. Cheese is on meds and feeling better. So that is helping his overall health. We do have a Care Credit card, but it’s tapped out because of this situation. We are working overtime hours at our normal jobs along with my side hustle jewelry business. But it’s just not enough. So we are asking our friends, family, and dog lovers for help. Please help us. I hate asking because I know everything is expensive. But $5 would help. Sharing my post on YOUR page would help spread the word.

Thank you!

Every bit of support makes a huge difference.
