Story
My name is Melissa, and I’m reaching out because I need help with my dog. I’m currently experiencing homelessness and want to make sure she gets the care and stability she deserves. She has some ongoing skin irritation and hot spots that need medication. She’s wearing a cone right now to prevent licking, but I’m not in a position to continue providing her medical care or a stable home. I love her very much, and my goal is to find a safe and supportive place for her — whether that’s a foster program, medical assistance, or permanent rehoming. Thank you
