Save Katie

Help Save Katie

We rescued Katie from the pound when she was just 8 weeks old! She was the cutest puppy there. She in now 3 years old. We love her so much. She has had such a great life and we are hoping that she will have many more wonderful years to go...
 

Katie has been having seizures for the past 2 months or so. We took her to our vet and they said she has a brain tumor. Meningioma is the type she has. It can be cured with an expensive surgery.
After surgery the vet said she wont have seizures anymore and she will still have plenty of time left. She would be more active and feel a lot better.
 
 

Katie is a great dog, she loves cats and other dogs. She is a member of our family. I just dont know what I would do without her. She sleeps at the foot of our bed, she runs up and licks us every time we come home. She is always so excited to see us.
We have been through a lot with Katie. We had to get rid of worms as a puppy which was normal in most puppies I guess. But heartbreaking to see her belly. We have had a problem with fleas so bad that her skin was red all over.
 
I would just hate to have to put her down because I cant afford the surgery for her.
My local vet said it is going to cost 3200.00 The vet said I can put down 1000.00 and theyll do the surgery and shell have to stay there for a few days until I pay the rest of the money. No vet is willing to let me make payments because I have no credit. i have tried pet health insurance but they have denied me because I need it for the surgery and once again no credit.
 
I am really confused right now and heartbroken. She needs surgery on July 13th 2006.
Anything counts!
