Sam is my 6-year-old Pomeranian and my best friend. He comes with me to work every day at my grooming salon, where he brings comfort and joy to all the dogs in my care. Sam is loving, kind, and always helps other dogs feel more comfortable during their visits. He’s not just my companion—he’s my emotional support animal and a special part of our salon family.

Over the past year, Sam has been bravely battling pancreatitis. Recently, his condition worsened, and he is now in the ICU at Animal Specialty and Emergency Clinic in Rockledge, Florida. He’s receiving palliative care, including IV fluids, pain and anti-nausea medications, and constant heart and breathing monitoring from a dedicated team of veterinarians and technicians. It’s been a difficult and emotional journey, but I am doing everything I can to give Sam the best chance at recovery.

All funds raised will go directly to Sam’s medical care, helping to cover his ICU stay and ongoing treatments. Your support means the world to both of us. Thank you to everyone who cares for Sam and me. Sam loves seeing his furry friends and their owners every day, and with your help, we hope to continue our journey of making grooming a positive experience for every dog who visits us.
