Hi, my name is Taylor, and I’m a veterinary technician. I’ve spent my career caring for animals, but today I’m asking for help for the one who’s always been by my side — my dog, Tallulah.

I’ve had Tallulah since she was just 7 weeks old, and she’ll be 10 years old this February. She’s been with me through everything — the highs, the lows, and every moment in between. She is my heart and soul, and I can’t imagine life without her.

Recently, we discovered that Tallulah has a foreign body that needs urgent surgery. We initially thought it was IVDD with secondary HGE, but it’s far more serious than we imagined. As a vet tech, I’ve spent my life caring for other people’s pets, and I know how quickly veterinary bills can add up. I want to give her the care she needs, but the cost is more than I can handle alone.

Tallulah deserves every chance to live a long, happy life. I’m asking for any support — whether it’s a donation or simply sharing her story — to help cover her surgery and recovery. Your kindness will give Tallulah the gift of healing and more time with the people who love her most.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read Tallulah’s story and for helping us in this difficult moment.
