My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

River is a joy to all who meet her. She is 41/2 years old and is smart, very well trained, has no aggression or emotional issues at all. She is literally an "off-leash" dog that I rescued at 7 weeks old and I have worked hard to make sure she is a well behaved and well adjusted dog.

The only issue she has as far as I know, is a cracked tooth that is infected and I don't have the financial means to fix. My roommate of 5 years and my only friend gave in to depression, drugs and alcohol and killed himself and left me to deal with the aftermath. I haven't been able to find anybody remotely able to qualify for a new roommate and my bank account has been drained trying to keep a roof over my head, and I won't have enough money to even cover the rent for next month. Amazingly the leasing manager will not work with me at all and I am at my wits end.

I am on disability and do not have a car....and River is about the only reason I get up in the morning. This entire situation makes me ashamed.
