Riley Bears Emergency Fund

My heart is so heavy writing this & I’m not one to ask for help. The absolute love of my life is struggling.

We spent the day at the hospital friday. It started with a vet visit Monday for an ear infection and as the week progressed he stopped eating, he’s not walking, he’s tired, labored breathing, uncomfortable, I’m giving him lactated ringers at home (saline bag w nutrients), syringing water into his mouth, etc. They can’t tell me what’s wrong w him. He’s too old for surgery.

We’ve done every exam possible at the vet then hospital & I’ve exhausted all my funds.

I'm just letting him rest. These funds will be to get him the things he needs or be used to let him cross the rainbow bridge at home and take care of the process following.

If you don’t know his story: he’s a lover and a fighter. We found each other when we both were struggling more him than I can ever imagine. He was skin and bones, Abused, Malnourished, Paws ripped, terrified of people, and next on euthanasia list because no one wanted to take that responsibility… then I saw him. Never had I experienced instant love like I did that day.

He was u listed from the euthanasia list and transported to me the next day. I left two hours later with the most gentle, grateful, and loving dog I’ve ever met

He has taught me what unconditional love is… he could’ve easily been a aggressive and ferocious dog with all the horrible things that had happened to him… yet he let down is guard and allowed me to love him for over 10 years. He saved my life countless times. Had it not been for this amazing being I would not be here as the person I am today. He taught me forgiveness and what’s it is to be gentle and gently love. Even w everything that I have in my power to give … it would never measure up to what’s he’s given me.

thank you for helping
