Help Ruby Fight Kidney Disease & Pancreatitis

Hi, my name is Carissa. and I’m fundraising for my beloved rescue dog Ruby who was rescued from a meat truck in China. Ruby came into our lives 6 years ago as a rescue, and since the moment we met, she’s brought so much joy, love, and comfort to everyone around her. She is the light in our lives. She’s not just a pet—she’s a huge part of our family and our two dogs Maddy and Simba. Ruby grew up with Maddy by her side every single day from the day we brought her home. Ruby wouldn’t be the crazy dog she is without Maddy. Maddy and Ruby are inseparable and it hurts to see them not together.

Recently, Ruby was diagnosed with stage 3–4 kidney disease and pancreatitis. As well as possible thyroid issues. These conditions are incredibly serious and painful, and they’ve taken a toll on her energy and overall health. Watching her struggle has been so heartbreaking, but we’re doing everything we can to give her a fighting chance.

Ruby now requires ongoing veterinary care, special prescription food, regular blood work, medications, hospitalization for multiple days, IV treatments and fluids to manage her conditions and keep her comfortable. These costs are mounting quickly, and as much as I wish I could handle it all on my own, I need help. Estimate will be posted below.

Every donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward Ruby’s medical care. Your support means the world to us and could make all the difference in her quality of life.

If you’re not able to donate, please consider sharing Ruby’s story. The more people who see this, the better her chances of getting the help she needs.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for loving animals like Ruby.

With gratitude,

Carissa ❤️
