Help Carli After Major Tragedy!

 Meet Carli

Carli is a sweet, loving 2-year-old Goldendoodle who has been through absolute hell in the past 48 hours. What started as vomiting and lethargy quickly spiraled into a life-threatening emergency. She was rushed to an ER in Northern California, where X-rays showed a suspected corn cob stuck in her small intestine—a blockage so dangerous it was quoted at $10,000 to treat.

We couldn’t give up on her, so we urgently transported Carli to our trusted vet in Sherman Oaks, hoping for a second chance—and a second opinion. As soon as she arrived, she was examined by Dr. Lockhartt, who realized Carli was in critical condition and rushed her into emergency surgery. What he found was heartbreaking. Her intestines were twisted and inflamed, and instead of a corn cob, he discovered a number of foreign objects, including socks, causing a life-threatening obstruction. Her surgery was complex, and her recovery will be long and closely monitored.

 She is stable now, but not out of the woods.
 We now need to raise $7,000 to cover her surgery, ICU recovery, and follow-up care.

Without this, we cannot continue her treatment. As a rescue, we’ve stretched beyond our limits—but we couldn’t let her die. Now, we’re urgently asking for your help. Every dollar counts—your donation could be the reason Carli gets to live. Please—if you’ve ever loved a dog, if you believe every life deserves a fighting chance—donate now to help us save Carli. She’s counting on US and we’re counting on YOU!

She’s a young dog with her whole life ahead of her. And today, she’s alive—because we didn’t give up.
Let’s finish what we started.

 PSA from the heart: Carli’s case is a painful reminder that dogs often chew and swallow things we never expect. Please keep foreign objects—like socks, corn cobs, and household items—securely out of reach. It only takes a moment for tragedy to strike. Let’s protect our pets with prevention and awareness.

With all our hearts,
The California Doodle Rescue Team
