Many of you know me — I’m Armine, a lifelong rescuer of dogs. For years I have helped countless animals and people, always doing my best to save lives, heal wounds, and bring hope where it was needed most. Today, for the first time, I am turning to you for help… because I can’t do this alone.

My beloved Alba, my white bear, my heart, has developed several serious health issues. She has a mass in her nipple, another near her left underarm, and a difficult wound on her paw that refuses to heal. The paw is now deformed, and she’s been drinking an unusually large amount of water. These are all warning signs that we cannot ignore. After consulting with the veterinarian, Alba urgently needs:

• Complete blood biochemistry

• Biopsy of the masses

• Ultrasound scan

• Examination by a specialist for her paw

• Additional tests including blood sugar analysis

Only with these tests will we know whether the masses are benign or dangerous, and whether we still have time to act. Her health, comfort, and future depend on catching this in time. The total cost for all diagnostics in Canada is $2,300. I simply cannot cover this alone.

Those who know me know that I always give everything I have to help animals in need, even when it meant giving up my own comfort, sending half my salary to Armenia, rescuing dogs from the streets, and finding loving families for them across the world. Today, I am humbly asking you to help me save my girl.

Please, if you can donate, any amount, no matter how small, it will bring us one step closer to getting Alba the care she needs. And if you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser helps more than you can imagine.

Let’s come together for Alba. I believe in the power of kindness, and I believe in all of us. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
