Buddy was diagnosed with mmm less than a year ago, and since then, life has been a whirlwind of vet visits, medications, and tests. All funds raised will go directly towards his veterinarian bill, covering lifetime medications, labs, biopsies, and many more tests that he needs to stay healthy. The costs are ongoing, and every bit of support will help ensure Buddy gets the care he deserves. Buddy came into my life at about 4-6 weeks old. We found him in a box with his sister in the snow in an empty parking lot, both full of worms. We brought them home and nursed them back to health. I was able to rehome his sister, but I became deeply attached to Buddy. At the time, I was in the middle of breast cancer treatments, and Buddy was a light during my darkest days. He never gave up on me, and now I refuse to give up on him. Your support will help me continue his life happily and give him the chance to thrive despite his diagnosis. Please help us by donating or sharing Buddy’s story. Your kindness means the world to us, and every contribution brings hope and healing.

Buddy is not just a pet—he is a cherished family member who has been by my side through thick and thin. Recently, Buddy was diagnosed with MMM disease, a rare condition in dogs that has brought unexpected and lifelong medical expenses. The diagnosis means Buddy will need daily medication, ongoing biopsies, and multiple tests throughout his life. Right now, he is experiencing lockjaw, which requires me to hand-feed him every three hours, day and night. The treatment and care Buddy needs will be ongoing forever, and all donations will go directly to the veterinarian office to cover these essential costs. Buddy came into my life at around 4 to 6 weeks old. On Christmas Eve, we found him and his sister abandoned in a box in the snow in an empty parking lot. I took them home and nursed them back to health. While his sister found a new home, Buddy stayed with me and quickly became a part of my family. He was there for me during my darkest times, including my fight with breast cancer. Buddy never gave up on me, and I am determined not to give up on him. Your support means the world to us, and together, as a community, we can help Buddy get the care he needs to live a happy and healthy life.
