Help Gus Walk Again: Support the Tingley Family

Dear Friends and Animal Lovers,

While attending a memorial for a family member, the Tingley family received a devastating call from their petsitter. Their beloved dachshund, Gus, had suddenly lost control of his back legs, was in severe pain, and could no longer empty his bladder.

A trip to the emergency vet confirmed their worst fears: Gus has Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). This diagnosis was a shock, as Gus is a young, healthy dog. Without immediate veterinary treatment, Gus faces paralysis and potentially life-threatening complications.

Gus means the world to the Tingleys. They recently lost their sweet dog Polly to old age, which was incredibly hard on the family. This new crisis with Gus is heartbreaking.

We are reaching out to our community for support. Please consider donating to help Gus receive the urgent veterinary care he needs. With your help, we hope to avoid major surgery and give Gus the best chance at a full recovery.

The Tingleys are some of the kindest and most giving people around. Let’s rally together to support them and their beloved Gus during this difficult time.

Thank you for your generosity and compassion.

Leslie (the Tingley's neighbor and dear friend)
