HELP ARCHIE BREATHE EASY AGAIN - SUPPORT HIS EMERGENCY VET CARE

Hi friends, I'm here to raise funds for Archie—the sweetest, cutest, most lovable pup you could ever meet. Archie isn’t just a dog—he’s a bright little light who lifts the spirits of everyone he meets. From his goofy grin to his endless snuggles, he brings joy wherever he goes.

Archie is a rescue who finally found his forever home with Marla on his third try. As the saying goes: third time’s the charm—and for Archie and Marla, it truly was.

Marla is an incredibly devoted dog mom. She’s given Archie the love, care, and stability he always deserved. But now she’s facing an overwhelming challenge: unexpected and urgent veterinary bills due to Archie’s sudden illness.

Archie came into Marla’s life as an older dog with pre-existing conditions, which sadly made him ineligible for pet insurance. This means every expense—no matter how large—comes out of pocket. And right now, the bills are mounting fast.

Recently, Archie began struggling to breathe due to a serious nasal blockage. He’s currently in the hospital on oxygen, fighting to get well. The list of procedures he’s undergone and still needs is long: exams, overnight oxygen care, CT scans, endoscopies, blood panels, X-rays, biopsies, IV fluids—and more to come as diagnostics continue. He’s expected to remain hospitalized for a few more days while vets determine the best course of treatment.

These costs are immediate and urgent—and Marla needs our help to give Archie the best shot at recovery.

If you've ever loved a pet, you know how heartbreaking—and financially stressful—it can be when they fall seriously ill. Every donation, no matter the size, brings Archie one step closer to coming home, tail wagging and smiling that Archie-smile once more.

Please consider donating today—and if you can’t give, sharing this campaign helps more than you know.

Archie and Marla are so grateful for your support. Let’s get this little guy back where he belongs—healthy, happy, and home.
