Help Us Save Cleo — Our Sweet, Spunky Beloved Dog

We’re reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits to ask for your help in giving our beloved dog, Cleo, the chance she deserves.

Cleo is not just a pet — she’s truly part of our family. She’s been with us through it all: vacations, camping trips, boating, skiing, first and last days of school, birthdays, holidays, backyard parties, and quiet days at home. She’s celebrated life with us, shared in our joy and comforted us in our sorrows — her paws have walked right alongside our lives.

If you know Cleo, you know she’s a one-of-a-kind soul. She’s sweet, smart, endlessly curious, a bit spunky, and proudly the alpha of our dog crew. She's got a heart full of love and a spark that brightens every room she walks into.

Recently, Cleo was diagnosed with a mediastinal mass — a cancerous tumor in her chest. The good news is that the cancer has not spread. It is fully contained within the mass, which is why surgical removal is not only possible, but urgent. With this surgery, Cleo has every chance of living a longer, healthier life. Without it, her time with us may be tragically cut short.

We are doing everything we can to make this happen for her, but the cost of the surgery and post-op care is more than we can afford on our own. We are humbly asking for your help.

Every donation — no matter how small — will go directly toward Cleo’s medical expenses. And if by some miracle, the cost is less than Gulf Coast Veterinary Services estimate, every additional dollar and penny will go to one of our many pet charities we have worked with in the past. We will not financially profit from this effort. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this with others who may be able to help. Spreading the word for us will be greatly appreciated.

Cleo has given us so much joy, loyalty, and unconditional love. We just want to give her the best chance to keep living the beautiful life she deserves.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, kindness, and support.

With gratitude,

Tasha Steiner and Family
