Meet Sissy! She is a young, heartworm positive 35 lb border collie/lab mix dog who is estimated to be 1-1.5 yrs old.

Despite being severely neglected and malnourished she trusted me enough to let me help her. She was eating trash and plastic from nearby dumpster. She was injured and in heat but still very friendly and loving. I contacted local rescues and shelters but they unfortunately did not have room or resources to offer assistance so l decided to take her home.

My initial plan was to keep her safe with the purpose of eventually finding her placement so that she could be fully vetted. In the meantime I have taken her to check ups, started her on preventives, vaccines, etc.

Her bloodwork came back heartworm positive and unfortunately I have already spent everything I can getting her stabilized and cared for but the real costs are just beginning and I'm overwhelmed with getting her the care that she desperately needs to survive.

The moderators have approved me to share her GoFundMe. Donations will go directly toward her treatment, vet visits and medications.

If anyone is able to help, share or suggest additional resources I might not know about I would be incredibly grateful. Even just upvoting or interacting with this post could help save her life.

I'll continue posting updates on her progress so everyone who has helped can see how she's doing. I've included documentation from her vet for full transparency.

Thank you all ❤️🐾
