Our sweet pup Archie—our best friend, camping buddy, and hiking partner—is in the middle of a scary health crisis. He is almost 8 years old and has been by our side through so many adventures, from road trips in our RV to lazy afternoons at home.

Recently, Archie developed a stomach obstruction and needed emergency surgery to save his life. The obstruction was in his stomach and reached about 6 inches into his small intestine. The total cost was $5,500. We've had to use credit to cover the costs so far. Any donations will go towards his exam fee, radiographs, hospital stay, surgery, and medication.

We know times are tough for many, and there is absolutely no obligation to give—just sharing this page or sending good thoughts for Archie means a lot to us. If you are able and choose to contribute, every bit helps ease the financial weight and gives Archie the chance to keep being his joyful, adventurous self.

If we’re fortunate enough to exceed our goal, any extra funds will either go toward Archie’s extended at-home care or be donated back to the veterinary office’s charity fund to help other pets in crisis—our way of paying it forward.

Thank you for taking the time to read Archie’s story and for supporting us in any way you can. ❤️
