Help Shamu Get Life-Saving Surgery

In 2018, while on vacation in Kauai, Hawaii, we met a dog who would change our lives forever. From the moment we laid eyes on Shamu, it was love at first sight. I cried all the way back to the hotel because I just knew he was meant to come home with us. Thanks to a generous birthday gift from Andy’s dad—a plane ticket for Shamu—he did. Since then, he’s been my best friend, my shadow, my everything. When the world shifted in 2020, Shamu was right there—thrilled to have me home 24/7, and honestly, I felt the same.

Right now, Shamu is at the emergency hospital facing a critical surgery—and we’re facing a bill of over $10,000 to save his life. This is truly urgent, and while we’re not the type to ask for help, we’re doing it now—for him. If Shamu has ever made you smile, brought you joy, or simply reminded you how deep the love of a dog can be, please consider helping us give him the care he needs. We need him. He needs us. And right now, we need you.
