Save Bandit: Our Beloved Family Member

Donation protected
Our hearts are completely shattered as we fight to save our sweet boy, Bandit. He’s not just a dog—he’s our family, our protector, our baby. Bandit, our 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, is battling for his life right now, and we are asking for your prayers, support, and love during this devastating time.

Over the past few days, Bandit has been suffering from uncontrollable vomiting, severe dehydration, and has not eaten since Saturday. After rushing him to the vet for extensive bloodwork and X-rays, we received the devastating news—he may have a blockage, pancreatitis, and worst of all, they found a mass on his spleen. We were in complete shock.

We brought him home to care for him with IV fluids, pain meds, and antibiotics, but his condition worsened. At midnight, we had to rush him back to the ER, where he was admitted overnight for tube feeding and intensive care. Leaving him there broke our hearts, but we are holding onto hope that our strong boy will keep fighting.

Bandit will need surgery to remove the mass if he can recover enough to withstand it. The cost of his emergency care, hospital stay, and potential surgery is overwhelming, but we refuse to give up on him. If you can donate anything at all, it would mean the world to us. Every dollar helps give Bandit a fighting chance.

If you’re unable to donate, please send your prayers, share this page, and keep Bandit in your thoughts. We truly believe in the power of love and support, and right now, we need all of it to help our boy pull through.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are beyond grateful for any support you can offer.

With love and hope,
Julie & Michael
