Dear Friends, Family, and Animal Lovers,

We are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts and an urgent plea for help. Our dear friends, Heather and Montgomery Nelson, are facing one of the toughest times of their lives after their cherished dog, Riki, suffered a brutal coyote attack. Riki means the world to them, and she is in desperate need of extensive veterinary care to survive and recover from this traumatic incident.

**Riki’s Story**

Most folks know Riki as a spunky schipperke that attends many a horse show with her mom and dad. Despite Riki’s small stature, she packs a huge personality, always wearing a smile and spreading joy to others. Riki’s playful antics spark countless laughs and touch the hearts of everyone she meets. Her sweet snuggles also bring endless comfort and love. Riki has always been more than a pet to Heather and Montgomery; she is a beloved family member.

**Why We Need Your Help**

The medical bills required to save Riki's life are overwhelming. As Heather and Montgomery focus on providing Riki with the critical care she needs, the staggering costs of surgeries, treatments, and aftercare are mounting rapidly, placing a significant financial burden on them. This is where your generosity and kindness can make a profound difference.
