Help Thor Get His Puppy Power Back!

Donation protected



It has been such a blessing to share Thor's journey with all of you from the moment I took him home all the way through our unfortunate time in the hopsital :(  Thank you for all of your love, support and prayers!  It has truly brought me so much peace and comfort through all the tears and confusion!
So here is little Thor's story...

Immediately after bringing Thor home I sadly discovered he was sick and already had a parasitic infection called Giardia and Kennel Cough, which is a highly contagious respiratory infection.  We began treatment and saw improvement as Thor's wild and crazy puppy self came out! :)  But the kennel cough did suddenly worsen and develop into double pneumonia at the end of the week.  It hit his little 2 pound body pretty hard and made him crash :(  Since then we have had to treat him with targeted antibiotics, iv dextrose fluids to keep his blood sugar up, and oxygen therapy in an oxygen cage.  The specialist who is currently caring for him has given a very hopeful diagnosis and has seen a majority of pneumonia cases he treates like this completely recover!  

Unfotunately, that hope they gave is VERY pricey!  But as long as there is that substantial hope I just can't bear to stop treatment or put little Thor down simply because I couldn't afford it :(  

Many friends have encouraged me to keep fighting for Thor and suggested doing a GoFundMe... so here I am, sharing Thor's story with you.   The goal would cover the highest estimate given to me for his projected medical expenses and the vet shared it is very likely we will get up to that higher amount.  I had to make an initial deposit today, and tomorrow, if we continue treatment, i will need to make another substantial deposit of $6500 in order for them to continue.  So time is of the essence.  Unfortunately, I am unable to make payments to them and had a small limit on CareCredit which would put me in debt :(  

My hopes and prayers is that Thor will completely recover and that this will be a miracle for God to get the glory!!  Any amount you feel led to donate, no matter how small it may seem to you, would add up and be such a huge blessing  to me and Thor!  This would help me to continue treatment and not have to make the very difficult decision to give up on Thor when he is still fighting so hard!

On A Side Note: It has been a battle all weekend, but I was able to finally get Petland to agree to pay for medical expenses up to the cost I purchased him at.   However, that will only cover the emergency room visits I currently paid out and not the projected expenses for the remainder of his treatment.  I cannot get the company to budge any further, but am trying to find any avenue I can to fight for additional coverage of medical expenses, including filing a complaint through Corporate, calling attorneys for their opinions and contacting the news.   The emergency clinic I took Thor to also stated that they have seen many puppies from this place come in with these problems and the fact that they are aware of this is just unacceptable.  

Thank you again so much for all of your love and support!  Believing in faith for Thor's healing and God's provision!  Love and sweet puppy hugs to you all!!! <3
