Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out with full hearts and hopeful spirits to ask for your help for our sweet girl Shelby - the gentlest, most loving cuddle bug you’ll ever meet.

Shelby recently suffered a serious femur fracture and is now in need of urgent surgery to help her heal and walk again. She’s in pain, but she’s staying strong, and still manages to look at us with those same soft, trusting eyes we’ve always known.

She’s more than a dog, she’s family. She’s our shadow, our comfort, and the heartbeat of our home. She curls up next to us when we need love, and now she’s the one who needs it.

What makes this especially hard is that Shaiden is pregnant, and we’re expecting our little one very soon. With a baby on the way, we’re doing our best to juggle all that comes with preparing for parenthood, emotionally, physically, and financially. This unexpected emergency with Shelby has hit at the hardest possible time.

The cost of surgery, post-op care, and rehab is steep. and while we’re doing everything we can, we simply can’t cover it all on our own right now. That’s why we’re turning to friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers.

If you’re able to contribute, even just a few dollars or share this with others, it would mean the world to us. Every donation goes straight toward getting Shelby the care she needs to heal and thrive again.

Thank you for supporting our family, the two-legged and the four-legged, during such a tender time. We’re deeply grateful.

With love and thanks,

Florian, Shaiden, Shelby, and the Baby-on-the-Way
