Hi everyone,

My name is Jose, and I am asking for help during one of the hardest moments our family has ever faced.

Our beloved German Shepherd Cassie is 5 years old and will be turning 6 this May. She suddenly became very sick and began suffering seizures caused by dangerously low blood sugar. After rushing her to the emergency hospital, doctors discovered serious internal health complications, including a large mass and severe digestive issues that require urgent hospitalization and possible surgery.

Cassie is not just a pet — she is family. For my 16-year-old daughter Audrina, she is her best friend, protector, and emotional support. Watching Cassie fight for her life has been heartbreaking for all of us.

The cost of treatment is overwhelming and could exceed $13,000 which is more than we can afford on our own. We are humbly asking for help from our community, friends, and anyone who understands the love we have for our animals.

Cassie still has so much life and love to give, and we want to give her every chance to recover and come back home where she belongs.

Any donation, no matter how small, will help. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support ❤️

— Jose, Audrina & Family
