Helping Ivy get back on her paws

Help Ivy Get the Surgery She Needs to Keep Snuggling Strong!

Hi, my name is Candace AKA dog mom, and I’m reaching out with a hopeful heart for a little help. I’m a full-time hospice LPN, a student for my RN, and a hardworking mom doing my best to hold everything together. But right now, my sweet girl Ivy needs help—and I can’t do it alone.

Ivy is more than just a dog—she’s family. She’s my rock, my snuggle buddy, and the most loving companion anyone could ask for. Ivy has this beautiful soul that brings comfort not just to me, but to everyone she meets. She’s a gentle mama to my kiddos, a friend to strangers, and a true cuddle bug who lives for couch snuggles and car rides.

Recently, Ivy was diagnosed with a torn ACL and needs TPLO surgery to walk and run again without pain. The estimate for her surgery is between $6,500 and $7,000—not including the long road to recovery afterward. As much as I wish I could shoulder this on my own, between school, work, and caring for my family, it’s more than I can manage alone right now.

If you’re able to help—even just by sharing this page—it would mean the world to me. Ivy has given us so much love, and now I want to do everything I can to give her the care she needs. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to getting her back on her paws.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, supporting, and caring. Ivy and I are so grateful.

With love,

Candace & Ivy
