Our beloved Standard Poodle Pepper is in need of help. She has a possible bowel obstruction and will need to be hospitalized ASAP to combat dehydration and to be made fit for surgery.

Because we recently welcomed a human baby into our family and are still recovering from our own hospital bills, we won't be able to cover all of the costs associated with Pepper's lifesaving care. She is only three weeks shy of turning 5 years old and could still live several years if she gets the care she needs. The estimate for hospitalization is $2,000 and surgery $4,000-$6,000. We are truly grateful for any contribution, no matter how small, from anyone that feels so inclined to help us save Pepper.
