Calling on our WAGS Family’s help this Friday morning! will NOT be pleased that I made a fundraiser, but I know our fam would love to help! (Link is in our bio 👆🏼)
If you’ve ever walked through our doors at WAGS Charlestown, chances are you know and love Katie. She has been a constant, caring presence in our community for over a decade, taking incredible care of so many of your pups like they were her own. Now it’s our turn to show up for her.
Last night, Katie’s beloved dog Scarlett had a severe reaction following her leptospirosis vaccine and was rushed to the emergency room. The veterinary team believes she went into anaphylactic shock. Scarlett spent the night in the ER and is currently fighting hard. She has experienced significant blood loss and has already required a plasma transfusion. At this time, her care is ongoing and the next steps are still uncertain, with the current bill already at $5,000. As you can imagine, this has been incredibly scary and overwhelming for Katie.
Katie has spent years showing up for this community with kindness, patience, and so much love for every dog she meets. She is the one who calms the nervous pups, celebrates the wiggly ones, and treats each dog like family. If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. Every contribution will go directly toward Scarlett’s emergency medical care and help ease the financial burden during this difficult time. If donating isn’t possible, sharing this page means just as much. Thank you for supporting one of our own. We are so grateful for this community.
With love,
The WAGS Charlestown Family
