Michaella Memorial Fund
Michaella was more than a patient. She was a survivor. An English Mastiff with a gentle soul, Michaella came to us after surviving a horrific abuse case that resulted in devastating injuries and amputations. Her story touched the hearts of everyone who met her — not only because of what she survived, but because despite everything she endured, she remained gentle, affectionate, and deeply connected to the people caring for her. Her case became known throughout our community after the heartbreaking animal cruelty investigation that brought her to safety. While the legal case made headlines, the part many people never saw was the long road afterward: months of intensive wound care followed by years of constant medical management, rehabilitation, bandage changes, medication trials, setbacks, victories, and the determination to give her comfort and dignity. Michaella taught us what resilience truly looks like. During her care, our team spent countless hours learning, adapting, and finding new ways to help her heal. Her injuries — especially the severe wounds to her feet — challenged us in ways we had never experienced before. Because of Michaella, we became stronger in advanced wound care and more determined than ever to fight for animals who have suffered neglect, abuse, or abandonment. In the process of helping Michaella, products such as Maxi-Wash and Blue Butter became part of her healing journey. We explored every option possible to help her wounds heal and to give her comfort during recovery. Michaella’s case changed the way we approach wound management and long-term supportive care for vulnerable animals. After everything Michaella endured, she spent the rest of her life surrounded by the people who refused to give up on her. Creature Comforts Veterinary Service became her home for more than six years. From the time she arrived in 2016 until her passing in 2022, our team accepted the responsibility of her care — emotionally, medically, and financially — because she deserved the chance to experience safety, comfort, and happiness after everything she had endured. Her care was extensive and ongoing. Michaella required constant wound management, specialized bandaging, medications, mobility support, and long-term medical oversight throughout her life. The cost of her care was significant, but she mattered to us far beyond the expense. She was not defined by what happened to her. She was defined by her resilience, her spirit, and the people who chose to stand beside her. Although Michaella is no longer with us, her impact continues every single day. We are creating the Michaella Memorial Fund to honor her life and continue the mission she inspired. Funds raised through this memorial will help provide: Advanced wound care supplies and treatments Medical support for abused, neglected, or critically injured pets Emergency care assistance for animals in need Comfort care and rehabilitation resources Specialized products and bandaging materials Support for pets whose owners may otherwise be unable to afford lifesaving treatment This fund exists because every animal deserves compassion, even after the world has failed them. Michaella reminded us that healing is possible when someone chooses not to give up. We hope her story continues to inspire kindness, advocacy, and second chances for the animals who need it most. Thank you for helping us carry Michaella’s legacy forward. --- News Coverage: Michaella’s story was shared publicly during the animal cruelty case that brought her to safety, as well as during her recovery journey as she learned to walk again using a cart after her amputations.

Help Puff Get Back on Track
When I adopted Puff six years ago during the pandemic, he was just a tiny ball of fluff who immediately became the center of my world. Now he's my constant companion, burrowing into my sweaters while I work and calling from the other room when he wants me to chase him around our apartment. Last week was terrifying. Puff has had urinary issues before, so when I saw him straining in the litter box, I rushed him to the emergency vet. The diagnosis was severe constipation requiring two enemas and an overnight hospital stay. The X-rays were honestly horrifying. They also found elevated liver values that we're still trying to understand. He came home on four different medications, and while the immediate crisis has passed, he needs ongoing follow-ups with our regular vet to ensure he's truly out of the woods. Between the emergency visit, multiple X-rays, bloodwork, enemas, medications, and overnight care, the bill came to $3,700. I put it on my credit card without hesitation – there was no other choice – but I'm struggling with this financial hit. Any help getting Puff back to his playful, laid-back self would mean so much to us.
Help Remi Smile Again: Dental Surgery Fund
Our sweet Remi is only seven months old, but she's already stolen our hearts with her gentle cuddles and incredibly smart personality. As a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, she should be enjoying her meals without any trouble, but instead she's struggling to eat because of something called retained puppy teeth. Five of her baby teeth on the top front never fell out like they should have, and now they're causing her real discomfort. Our veterinarian has recommended extraction surgery to pull these retained teeth so Remi can eat properly and avoid further complications. The procedure will cost approximately $10,000, which honestly wasn't something we were prepared for financially. The stress has been overwhelming for our family. I've only had Remi for seven months, but she's brought so much joy into our lives. Every cuddle, every sweet moment with her reminds me why we need to help her through this. She's such a loving, smart little girl who deserves to live pain-free and enjoy her puppyhood. Any help toward her dental surgery would mean the world to us and give Remi the healthy, happy life she deserves.
Help Brody Smile Again: Dental Care Fund
Brody has been by my side for ten years, and he's carried me through some of the hardest moments of my life, especially during my divorce. He and his sister have been my constant companions since they were just eight weeks old, and they mean everything to me. I still smile remembering how they used to run and play with our big dog Nash before we lost him in 2018. Now Brody needs me, and I'm determined to be there for him. He's suffering from serious dental problems that make eating difficult, and the vet has recommended extractions along with a full dental cleaning. Before we can proceed, he needs a blood test to make sure he can safely handle sedation for the procedure. The estimated cost is $3,000, and honestly, times are tough right now. The divorce left me in a difficult financial position, and I haven't been able to care for them the way I wish I could have. Brody still gets excited for his daily walks and treats, and I want to give him many more happy years. I'm asking for help so I can take proper care of him. Any support means the world to us.

Help Lola Bunny Cross the Rainbow Bridge with Dignity
Lola Bunny has been my loyal companion for all 15 years of her life, and now I'm facing the hardest decision a pet owner can make. Over the past four months, I've watched her steadily decline, but this morning she could barely move around the house without yelping in pain. She can no longer go outside to go potty, and even shifting her onto a puppy pad causes her to cry out. The vet has been clear that at her age, there's no cure for what she's going through. They've recommended euthanization as soon as possible rather than letting her suffer any longer. The cost is $725, and with my fiancé currently out of work and every dollar going toward rent and utilities to keep our home, we're desperately trying to save but falling short. Lola earned her name as a puppy when she'd hop around the yard like a bunny. She's always been the perfect girl—never needed a leash, learned every command instantly. After 15 years together, she deserves a peaceful, dignified goodbye without more pain. I'm heartbroken that I can't give her that right now without help.

Help Rosie get the care she needs
Rosie has been my whole world for two and a half years, and honestly, she's more my daughter than just a dog. When she was diagnosed with epilepsy at six months old, we spent thousands trying to figure out what was wrong and how to manage it. Just when we thought we had a handle on things, Rosie got sick with a new infection that her doctors can't quite identify yet. We've already spent $5,000 on bloodwork, diagnostic testing, and supportive care, and had to open a new credit card just to cover it. Now her veterinary team is recommending an MRI to evaluate her brain and neurological condition, which will cost another $3,000 to $4,000. Between her ongoing epilepsy management and these new complications, we're looking at $10,000 total. I had to quit my job to care for Rosie full-time, so my boyfriend is now our sole provider. We've been trying so hard to climb out of debt from her previous treatments, and now we're facing another financial storm. Rosie has always been my number one priority, but we've maxed out our options. Any help getting her the specialized care she desperately needs would mean everything to our little family.
