Help Me Save Luna—My Heart Dog.
Hi, my name is Casey, and I never imagined I’d be writing this.
Luna isn’t just my dog—she is my soulmate. She is the quiet comfort in my darkest days, the joy in every morning, and the purest love I have ever known. She’s not “just a pet.” She’s family. She’s my best friend. She is my soul dog.
Luna came into my life during a time when everything felt uncertain. My mental health was at its lowest. I felt lost, isolated, and hopeless. But then came Luna—with her kind eyes, her gentle presence, and a heart so big it held pieces of me I didn’t know were broken. She gave me something to hold on to when I didn’t think I could keep going. And she never once left my side.
She’s been with me through everything—through the healing, through the milestones, through life. She was there when I got engaged. She was there when I got married. She was there when we bought our first home. She is the one constant, comforting, unshakable presence I’ve had through every chapter of my adult life.
And now, she needs me.
Luna recently developed a large lump near her throat. After countless vet visits, tests, bloodwork, ultrasounds and a CT scan, we learned she has a rare issue with her salivary gland that must be surgically removed. It’s a delicate and expensive surgery, but if we don’t do it, her condition could worsen—leading to serious complications and pain. She’s going through so much… but you’d never know it by the way she still wags her little nub tail, offers kisses, and stays pressed against my side every night.
She is still full of life, still fighting, still loving.
The surgery and post-op care are estimated to cost around $6,500. A couple generous family members offered to help, but we don’t want to put that entire weight on them. That’s why I’m asking for help—from my community, from fellow dog lovers, from anyone who understands the bond between a girl and her dog. If you’ve ever had a heart dog—a once-in-a-lifetime companion—you know what Luna means to me. You know why I’m fighting so hard for her.
Even $5 brings us closer to getting Luna the care she needs. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this with others. Every act of kindness matters more than you know.
I’ve been there for Luna her whole life. Now it’s my turn to show her just how much she means to me and be there for her when she needs me most. Please, if you’re able—help me save my Luna.
From the bottom of my heart,
Thank you.
