Hello friends and community,

-UPDATE-

My name is Mariana, and I am a local pet sitter who has dedicated my life to caring for animals. I have fostered and rehomed many pets over the years. I have a deep passion for animals and today I’m reaching out in hopes of finding support for two sweet dogs, **Marley and Zoe**, who have been in my care since 04/18/25.

Their owner is unable to care for them and has officially signed over ownership to me as of 09/19/25.

While Marley is doing well, Zoe is in urgent need of medical attention. About a year ago, a small bump appeared on her mouth. Over time, it has rapidly grown and now covers her bottom lip. We do not yet know the exact cause or diagnosis, and she needs to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible to determine the proper treatment.

Despite her condition, Zoe remains one of the sweetest and most positive dogs you could ever meet. She’s incredibly independent, loving, and easygoing. She loves to sunbathe in the yard and — when she thinks no one is watching — she’ll snuggle up with a stuffed toy. Her gentle spirit shines through every day, even though she’s facing this serious medical challenge.

I am doing everything I can to give both Marley and Zoe the care they deserve, but I can’t do this alone. My hope is to raise enough funds to get Zoe the medical evaluation and treatment she needs.

No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

If you find it in your heart to donate to Zoe’s care — even just one dollar — it would mean the world to us. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this post with friends and family.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, support, and compassion.

God bless.

-Mariana, Marley & Zoe
