My dog Roxie means the world to me, and I am asking for help to get her the care she needs. Roxie has developed some kind of allergy that is causing her to itch constantly and lose her hair. It looks almost like mange, but it is not. She is clearly uncomfortable, and I know she needs to be seen so we can find out exactly what is wrong and get her started on treatment as soon as possible. I am on Social Security and had to take it early, so I only receive a partial amount each month. Because of that, I do not have the money to cover the first vet visit, the testing, and the costs to get Roxie started on medication. Once we can get the process started, I believe I will be able to manage the prescriptions going forward. Right now, I just need help with the upfront care so Roxie can finally get some relief. Roxie is family to me. I believe when you take on the responsibility of loving a dog, that means being there through the good and the bad. Dogs are loyal no matter what, and they never turn their backs on the people they love. I could never turn my back on Roxie. I am simply asking for a little help and hoping people can open their hearts to support her care. Thank you so much, and God bless.

Roxie is our family's third generation never had this problem with her father or her grandmother.Recently, Roxie has been suffering from a type of allergy that’s causing her to lose all her hair and itch constantly. I’ve looked into pet insurance, but the deductible is more than I can afford, especially since I had to take early retirement and now live on a limited social security income. Now, I’m doing everything I can to help her, but the costs are overwhelming. The money raised will go directly toward Roxie’s vet bills, medicine, and lab work. My family suggested I put Roxie in a shelter, but I just know her being part Rottweiler, it will be hard to get anybody to want to adopt her, and she would just stay in a cage until they decide it’s time to euthanize her because she won’t be adopted. But I believe when you take responsibility for a pet, you don’t turn your back on them just because times are tough. Roxie would never turn her back on me—dogs are the most loyal and forgiving creatures God has ever put on this Earth. Any help or support means the world to us, and I’m grateful for anyone willing to lend a hand in any way possible. I pray God will help guide her path to better health. Thank you. May God bless!!!
