Single Dad Struggling to Get By Pleads for Help for Sick Dog

A single dad in Georgia is doing the best he can to care for his children and his beloved dog, Daisy

The hardworking man is struggling to make ends meet. He is living in low-income housing and receives pet food and supplies from his local animal rescue, TiggerTown. In return, he is always the first to volunteer and help at the rescue.

Daisy goes to work with her dad who drives a delivery truck and happily sits in the passenger seat. She is his co-pilot at work and at home. That is why when she fell ill, he reached out to the rescue for help. 

The rescue told us, the nine-year-old dog could barely walk, was lethargic, and had an infection "leaking out of her lady parts".

The worried dad called TiggerTown and they told him to rush her to the emergency vet and they would help with her bills. 

Daisy was examined and diagnosed with Pyometra, a uterine infection, which can be fatal if left untreated. 

The sweet girl was started on pain medication and antibiotics and will need emergency surgery to remove her uterus.

The rescue reached out to Greater Good Charities' Emergency Animal Medical fund to help cover her medical bills. The fund was created to save dogs like Daisy and give them the second chance they deserve. We need your help to save more lives. 

Help us raise $4,500 for Daisy and animals like her. Your gift will not only give her the hope to keep fighting, but your donations will help cover her ongoing care.
