Shadow is our beloved 12-year-old dog, and he’s been a constant source of love and joy in our lives. Even at his age, you can still see so much life and fight in him—he still wants to be here, to give us one more kiss and one more snuggle. That’s why we’re not ready to give up on him. Recently, Shadow was diagnosed with lung bullae, which are thin-walled, air-filled spaces in his lungs caused by destroyed alveoli. The only way to treat this is through a complex and costly surgery to remove the affected part of his lung. The surgeon has told us that the procedure has a high success rate and could give Shadow more quality time with us, but the cost is overwhelming for our family. Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward Shadow’s surgery and recovery. Your support would help ease the financial burden we’re facing and give him the chance to breathe comfortably again and enjoy more time with us. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much. The more people who see Shadow’s story, the more hope we have to get him the care he needs. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of Shadow’s journey.
