Blaze is my only dog and my constant companion. As a Professional Mobile Groomer, I spend five days a week caring for hundreds of dogs in my community, treating each one as if they were my own. Recently, I noticed Blaze was having trouble urinating and suspected she had a UTI. After several weeks of concern and a visit to the vet, I learned that she actually has bladder stones, which have been causing her pain and discomfort for months. The vet explained that Blaze needs surgery as soon as possible to prevent the risk of her bladder rupturing—a situation that could be life-threatening.

This news has been incredibly difficult, especially since my business has slowed down due to recent weather issues that kept me from working. I want nothing more than to give Blaze the care she needs, but I simply cannot afford the cost of her surgery right now. The funds raised will go directly toward her surgery to remove the bladder stones, spaying her during the procedure, and covering all necessary aftercare and post-surgery needs.

I'm reaching out to the many communities I have served since 2012, asking for any support you can offer. Any assistance, no matter how big or small, would mean the absolute world to me and Blaze. Your help would allow me to breathe easier and focus on caring for her, instead of worrying every moment about what could happen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading our story—even if you’re unable to donate, your kindness and concern mean everything to us.
