Learning that your beloved dog has Addison's disease is no way to start the holiday season, but that's exactly what happened to our friend Rick Benton. His beautiful, playful, and loving dog Holly—a red heeler-lab mix just four years old—is currently in the hospital fighting for her life. Her veterinary team is working tirelessly to stabilize her and determine the best way forward. Addison's is a treatable condition, but the costs are significant. The initial hospital stay and diagnosis alone are a major financial burden, and Holly will need ongoing monthly treatment to manage her condition.


Rick is a hardworking man who loves Holly dearly and wants nothing more than to give her the chance to chase tennis balls, rabbits, and squirrels for years to come. But he can't do it alone. The money raised through this fundraiser will go directly toward Holly's hospital bills, vet bills, and the monthly treatment she needs to live a happy, healthy life. Every dollar will help ease the financial strain and give Rick hope during this difficult time.


As a friend of Rick and Holly, I'm reaching out to our community for help. If you can, please consider donating to give Holly the chance she deserves. Your support—no matter the amount—will make a real difference for this sweet girl and her loving family. Thank you for opening your heart this holiday season.
