Stephen Tyler hasn't added a story.
Hi,
My name is Stephen and I clean carpets and floors for a living. I live with my best girl, Adele, an eight-year-old rescue German Shepherd. She is absolutely the best canine companion I've ever had in my life and a treasure to me.
I live in a small town and have a very trusted and reliable vet. On a routine visit recently, it was discovered that Adele has a condition that requires the removal of her spleen (a splenectomy). It is being done this week and, as you might guess, is a fairly expensive surgery that will cost somewhere between $2000~$3000 between the surgery and post-surgery follow-ups.
Adele is worth every penny and everyone that meets her immediately recognizes her love of life and happy disposition (she's also a great alarm system and alarm clock). Life wouldn't be the same without her.
When someone explained the concept of crowdfunding to me, it no longer seemed like holding out a digital tin cup. It's networking immediately with animal lovers far and wide, perhaps even those who have been through similar situations with their animals.
Any contributions over and above the veterinary expenses will go to Lafayette Animal Aid in Lafayette, Louisiana from where I rescued Adele back in 2008. They do wonderful work connecting qualified caretakers with homeless animals!
