Help Pandora Walk Again: IVDD surgery and MRI costs

Help Pandora Walk Again: Support Her Medical Journey

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to share the challenges my sweet Great Dane, Pandora, is facing. Recently, Pandora lost the ability to walk, and while her spirit is as bright as ever, her legs just aren’t cooperating. We’re committed to uncovering what’s causing this, but that means multiple vet visits, extensive testing, and an MRI that costs between $6,000 and $9,000. Depending on the results, surgery may also be necessary to give Pandora the chance to run, play, and enjoy life the way she deserves.

Pandora is truly one of a kind—a gentle giant who brightens every room she enters. Even our pet sitter says she’s their favorite! She’s also famous for "punching” people. Those hilariously clumsy but endearing paw slaps she gives when she’s excited to see you. (If you’ve been on the receiving end, you know the joy—and the bruises—they bring!)

I adopted Pandora in 2020 after a rocky start to her life; I was her third home before she was even three years old. Over the last four years, she’s brought so much joy, love, and laughter into our lives. We want to do everything possible to ensure she remains a vibrant part of our family for years to come.

If you’re able to donate, your generosity will go directly toward Pandora’s medical expenses, including anesthesia, the MRI, medications, and, if necessary, surgery. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help Pandora get the care she needs to walk again and keep throwing those punches at everyone who loves her.

We understand that times are tough for many, but if you can’t donate, sharing Pandora’s story would mean the world to us. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any support you can offer. Together, we can help Pandora get back on her feet—literally.

With gratitude,

Brianna, Pandora, Greyson, and Jordan
