My name is Emily Pearl Wood, but most call me Ms. Pearl. I bought Charlie from the flea market while I was homeless in the woods after my other service dog was killed during an altercation with train riders under the bridge in Savannah, Georgia.

She's had my back since day one, but unfortunately, she is riddled with tumors and losing control of her back legs, lethargic, and whining a lot. Ultimately, I'd like to take her to the doctor to confirm the cancer and/or tumors. After that, I'd like to have her comfortable with meds from the doctor, and when it's time for her to leave this world peacefully, I'd like to be able to have her euthanized here at home and keep her ashes to honor her life.

She's fought hard for me, but unfortunately, I'm not financially able to fight for her. Please help Charlie have no pain and dignity in death.
