🐾❤️ AKARI IS SAFE ❤️🐾

Akari is officially safe with One Paw At A Time after being pulled from DeKalb County Animal Services.

And honestly, her story is one of those that sits heavy on your heart.

Akari was part of a cruelty case and was held as live evidence. She appears to have had litter after litter of puppies, and her body carries the signs of a life that was never kind to her.

Despite everything she has endured, Akari is finally out of the shelter and resting safely in a foster home. Now our job is to make sure she gets the medical care she desperately needs.

Akari is heartworm positive and has a Grade 5 heart murmur. Because of the severity of the murmur, we cannot safely move forward with a heartworm treatment plan until we know exactly what is happening with her heart.

🐾 Akari urgently needs an echocardiogram.

This test will help our veterinarian determine the severity of her heart condition and what treatment options are safe for her moving forward.

💔 Estimated cost: $1,100

We are asking for help covering this critical next step in Akari’s care.

She has already survived so much. Now that she finally has a chance, we want to give her every opportunity to heal, be comfortable, and know what it feels like to be loved.

If you can help, no donation is too small. Every dollar gets us closer to the answers Akari needs.

🙏🏽 Please help us keep changing her story.

Help me help them help you.

Your past was heartbreaking, Akari, but we are going to fight like hell for your future. ❤️🐾

Akari
