Roxie is a sweet, gentle dog who has brought so much comfort and love into Steph’s family, especially during tough times. She's started out as Steph's dad's shadow, constantly following him from room to room, where they'd spend their days happily laying on the floor together. After the loss of Steph's parents, Roxie's found her last bit of home with Steph, and Steph's though her.

Recently, Roxie was woke up with a swollen face and low energy. She was diagnosed with dental issues that require several tooth extractions, as well as the removal of a lump found on her stomach. These procedures are necessary to keep her healthy and comfortable, but unfortunately the costs are adding up. It’s been a stressful time for both Steph and Roxie, and we want to do everything we can to make sure Roxie gets the care she needs.

In lieu of gifts for Steph's birthday this year, please consider donating what you can to help cover Roxie’s medical procedures and ensure she can recover comfortably at home. Asking for help isn't really Steph's strong suit, but there's nothing that would mean more to her and any support would mean the world. Thank you!

If you'd rather donate through Venmo we'll gladly accept that too: @Stephanie-Gore
