Serena has been by my side through some of the hardest and happiest moments in life. She’s my 7-year-old cattle dog mix, my best friend, and truly part of my family. Over the past six months, she has been fighting through extensive medical treatment, including heartworm treatment, countless tests, medications, and follow-up care. Just when we thought we were nearing the end of this long journey, Serena got into raisins and had to be rushed to the emergency vet. What started as a terrifying late-night emergency quickly turned into another overwhelming medical bill. Between her emergency visit and the ongoing heartworm treatment, I have now spent several thousand dollars trying to keep her healthy and safe.

On top of everything else, Serena has also lost nearly 15 pounds, and despite multiple vet visits and testing, we still don’t have answers as to why. More diagnostic tests and follow-up care are needed to determine what is causing the weight loss and to make sure there is not another serious underlying condition affecting her health. Like many pet owners, I would do absolutely anything for my dog. Serena is loving, loyal, goofy, and the kind of dog who comforts everyone around her. She deserves the chance to fully recover and enjoy many more happy years.

The costs have become more than I can manage alone, especially after months of treatment, testing, injections, medications, steroids, emergency care, and now additional diagnostic testing. Any amount helps, whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply keeping Serena in your thoughts. Your kindness would mean more than I can express and would help relieve some of the financial stress while I focus on helping Serena heal. Thank you for supporting Serena and giving her a chance to keep fighting through this.
