Hi, my name is Lina and I’m fundraising to save the life of our beloved dog Russell. He came into our family as an emotional support companion for my daughter and quickly became the heart of our home.
Russell is only 4 years old and was recently diagnosed with IVDD, a serious spinal condition that has left him unable to walk unless he’s on strong pain medication — which he can only take for one more week.
We’ve already spent over $2,500 on emergency care, but he now needs an urgent MRI ($5,000) and spine surgery ($11,000–$16,000) to have a chance to walk again. The cost is more than we can afford, and we only have until Friday to raise the funds.
Please help us give Russell a second chance. Every donation and every share makes a difference. From the bottom of our hearts — thank you.
