July of 2025, I got to witness the completely devastating event of having a very sick dog who required very special care. It came down to a choice: put him down because I couldn’t afford the hospitalization he required, or go into debt in the hopes that we could save him. I chose to see him through his illness.

The #DollarsForDobby fund has been started by my co-company, Wild Kraft PDX, who will be offering one-of-a-kind fundraising merchandise to aid our financial recovery for him, and after for other pets in emergency care in Portland.
