$3,800 donated towards the vet so far! Absolutely amazing! He will most likely need another day in the O2 chamber but everyone seems optimistic

Hear anything about his vison?

I am so happy to see that $ amount! We all know too well what it's like when they walk in with that estimate sheet in their hand and see that outrageous number on the bottom line. It would be a beautiful thing if that whole cost could be covered. Praying he doesn't lose his vision and gets stronger everyday.

So thankful that people can come together to help out with this! I can't imagine the relief this has created for these people - losing your house is bad enough, they don't need to lose a member of their family, too!

This warms my heart how people are pulling together to help out this guy and his family in their time of need.

 Thank you to all the forum members donating and sharing! I love having a community of people that support each other so strongly. You all make me proud to be a part of this place.

As of right now, he still has sight!

ETA: $4500 raised as of last night with more donations pouring in!

That is so awesome!!!

Do you know about how much needs to be raised to cover all the costs?

Those pictures make me so happy to see him so happy to see his family!! Through all of that, he still keeps his happy huskyness!

I had someone message me on Facebook because they saw I shared Nanuk's story, and they wanted to donate all of the care credit to Nanuk <3 It's so amazing to see people pull together like this. Hopefully the clinic he's at accepts it.

As he is still at the vet, there is no firm total, but original estimates were $6000.

Bumping! Anyone who can donate!! or Share!

Just catching up, thank you for sharing the updates! Busy weekend trying to help Nanuk's family, helping my friend who broke her leg by walking her dog and helping run the rescue for our founder who had a death in the family (Man, bad luck comes in threes!) Thank you all, I've loved reading through this thread and our husky family is strong! So many husky avatars on Nanuk's FB page!

I know how you feel about being so upset, Tori, it's hit so close that hubby and I are alternating being home and are terrified to leave the dogs. I'm lucky to work from home but that may be just making it worse when I have to leave them. We put a fire extinguisher on the porch, added more fire detectors and we already have one of those stickers with how many dogs inside. Weirdly enough, I had thought to add the third dog a few weeks ago since we've had fosters for the past few months.

My teen foster husky was chomping at the bit to go explore the neighborhood, so I walked up and down our block umpteen times rather than leave the block. Turns out it was likely an electrical issue, so I'm also unplugging everything and planning to have the outlets checked.

Their landlord has been so helpful and sweet, he even put up a banner on the fence that all the neighbors have been reading and sharing. Here's my foster Chance with the banner, showing support for Nanuk.


Thank you all again for your support. Nanuk's mom has been trying to post updates on her phone since all the electronics can't be salvaged and is having issues so I'm sending their love and gratitude to you all! Thank you for sharing, it's been a huge help!

Nanuk's mom wants to thank you all!

A message from Nanuk's Mom Doris
(btw, I misspelled Nanook when setting the FB page but it was too late to change since so many had kindly shared it so fast!):

"Nanook is our sweet baby of almost 2 years in April. I can't begin to express our sincere thanks and heartfelt gratitude to everyone that has helped us. Thank you to our neighbors for calling 911 and helped to get my dogs out by yelling out, "dogs inside!, dogs inside!", to the LA Fire Department that fought for him to get oxygen in him, when some thought he was gone. To City of Angels Veterinary Specialty Center, for taking him in and giving him a chance to fight for his life. To all of YOU that have been keeping him in your prayers, your encouraging words, and giving monetary donations to be able to keep him in great care. To the person who created the page for Nanook (Nanuk), its amazing to see such blessing of support that you have created, bless all of YOU! And mainly our Lord up above, to give him the strength to keep him fighting for his life. He deserves it!!! He is a sweet boy that would greet and give kisses to everyone. He was also a magician... he could get out of anything! ... and he did. Also, despite that we had a short fence in our yard , he had the KIND HEART of NOT jumping over and escaping! He is truly a loving husky. These passed few days have been truly an experience I would not want to wish on anyone. But him getting better brings our family hope.
Again, sending paw hugs to each and everyone. Please know I won't forget your kind gesture. Thank you again from the bottom of our heart. It's because of you that he is still with us!

Also, thank you so much ECO DOG WASH / DAYCARE and STAFF for having my two girls with you. They couldn't be in a better place than with you guys!

Sincerly,
PERAZA FAMILY"

You guys are so awesome, thank you all so much!
