SAMANTHA THE ABUSED PUG URGENT SURGERY

SAMANTHA THE CANADIAN PARALYZED PUG ❤️
 
Samantha's owner died last year, and a family member who was to care for her and love her, kicked her instead and BROKE her spine. She was discovered sitting alone in a bathroom by a family friend who felt sorry for the her & took her. The help she needed was beyond his means so local rescue help was sought. No local pug rescue stepped up to take her on. Many afraid to take a hard case, an "expensive" case. So even though I'm in Los Angeles, USA, and she was in Ottawa, Canada, we took her in immediately.
 
How much has the poor baby suffered?
 
She deserves everything we can do for her. We transported her from Ottawa to a specialty hospital in Toronto, did an MRI & found out her spine was beyond repair, and we treated her many other issues - infections, kidney stones, etc., we spent $20,000 and she was finally able to leave the hospital and go to a loving foster home. 
 
Her foster mom SAX has been taking great care of Sammi. Sammi has bonded with her and her dogs and I want SAX to know she is supported by all of us and that we will so what we can to a make Samantha's life easier and fix the wrongs done unto her.  She's had many vet visits due to recurring UTI's - a common issue with paralyzed dogs, lots of meds, special food. I have covered it all. And now there is one big FINAL thing to do before Sammi can go up for adoption: she needs a SPAY surgery, but because she has different anatomy - a hidden urethra that causes her many problems, and has to be surgically move, she needs a RARE complicated, specialized surgery that will require 2 surgeons, days in hospital after, and it is expensive. I was quoted around $8,788 plus unexpected hospitalization costs. But it must be done so this girl has a chance at a life without further suffering. Additional funds are needed for physical therapy sessions and a custom wheelchair. Samantha has made a lot of progress and I want her to have all the opportunities she can for movement and a normal life. 
 
I have created a GoFundMe for Samantha & I BEG you to help me give this girl a future. Please donate. Please share. Let's give her this one big final gift.
 
My fellow CANADIANS! This pug needs you. Local rescues said no because they didn't think they could get enough $ support to help Sammi. Please help me show them that is not the case - Canadians care! 
 
THANK YOU. Please keep Sammi in your prayers during this difficult suregery & recovery!
