WAYS TO DONATE

Rescue Fundraising Spotlight - Help Mend Elsa's Heart

Little 7 year old Elsa was not treated kindly for most of her life and was likely used as a breeding dog. She came in with a few big medical issues, which we were able to address, but the last big hurdle is her cardiac diagnosis. Elsa has sick sinus rhythm, which causes her heart rate to drop to very low and causes her to pass out. Her cardiologist believes her best chance to live a long and full happy life is to get a pacemaker. This procedure, is very safe and will solve her issues, much like a pacemaker does in a human. It, however, is costly, and will cost 8k to do. We believe at 7 years young, the benefits outweigh the cost. Will you help us raise the funds to literally mend Elsa's heart? Whether it's $1 or $100, every dollar helps. 
Donate to get Elsa a Pacemaker
