Billie's $18,000 Surgery: We Need Your Help

Meet Billie, the ultimate doodle—an 11-week-old mix of Sheepadoodle, Labradoodle, and Portuguese Water Dog. She’s the sweetest, most loving pup, and in just 12 days together, we’ve been training, socializing (safely, of course), riding in her stroller, and enjoying every moment of this new adventure.

But suddenly, everything changed. Billie developed a severe and life-threatening condition called Intussusception, where part of her intestine telescoped into itself. Without emergency surgery, she wouldn’t have survived. We rushed her to the vet, and thanks to quick action and expert care, she made it through!

The surgery saved her life—but it came with a $18,000 bill, and I hadn’t yet set up pet insurance. Now, I’m facing this unexpected financial burden alone. Many friends, clients, and fellow dog lovers have reached out asking how they can help, so I’m setting up this GoFundMe to give Billie the best shot at recovery without the overwhelming stress of the cost.

If you’re able to contribute, every dollar helps. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world. Billie has already stolen so many hearts, and with your support, she’ll have the happy, healthy life she deserves.
