Help Save Shrek: A Brave Foster Husky's Fight for Life

Three weeks ago, we found Shrek — a beautiful Husky abandoned on the streets. After some digging, we discovered his previous owner had thrown him out simply because she no longer wanted a dog. Despite all that, Shrek has always had a positive and happy attitude.

On his first day with us, we took him to the vet and discovered he had a respiratory virus. Thankfully, with proper treatment, he recovered quickly. Though unusually calm for a Husky, Shrek was full of love — always eager to play with my other dogs and go for walks.

But recently, his appetite and great personality disappeared, and yesterday, he refused to eat entirely. Concerned, we took him to the vet immediately, but they couldn’t fit him in for a consult. First thing this morning, we returned — and received devastating news.

Shrek had a massive tumor on his spleen, and he was bleeding internally.

The vet rushed him into emergency surgery to remove the tumor, stop the bleeding, and remove his spleen. The procedure was intense, and Shrek lost a significant amount of blood. Thankfully, one of our other dogs was able to donate enough blood for a life-saving transfusion. Now, Shrek has stabilized and has a strong prognosis — but he needs to stay in the hospital for several more days to ensure his recovery.

We are overwhelmed with love for this sweet boy, and we’re doing everything in our power to give him the second chance he deserves. But his medical bills are mounting fast. Here’s what we’ve faced so far:

✅ Initial Consultation

✅ Profile 900 Test

✅ SNAP Index 4DX Test

✅ 5 Days of Hospitalization

✅ Emergency Surgery

✅ Tumor Test

✅ Blood Transfusion

✅ Biopsy of the Tumor

✅ Antibiotics and Treatment

We need your help to cover these costs. Every dollar will go directly toward Shrek’s medical expenses and his recovery journey.

Shrek has already overcome so much, and with your kindness, we know he can pull through this, too. Please consider donating — no amount is too small. If you can’t donate, sharing Shrek’s story with your friends and family will mean the world to us.

We are fostering him until he finds his forever home.

Thank you for helping us give Shrek the life he’s always deserved. ❤️
