Meet Cheyenne.
She came to us as a retired British red lab, a true momma dog with more litters under her belt than we can count. When she arrived at Pop Smoke K9 for Veterans, it was clear she had given everything she had. So we gave her a new title: Kennel Ambassador.
Cheyenne is the soul of our facility. Every new dog that walks through our doors is greeted by her gentle presence. She loves nothing more than a good pet, a slow scratch behind the ears, and the company of the pups she watches over. At 9 years old, she is still showing up every single day for this mission.
Recently, a spot appeared on her tongue. It came back as cancer.
She is waiting on further testing now, and her surgery is going to cost $1,000. For a nonprofit that runs entirely on the generosity of people who believe in what we do, that is not a small ask. But Cheyenne has never asked for anything. She just gives.
If you have ever visited our kennel, you already know her. You know the way she leans into your hand and looks up at you like you are the whole world.
Now it is our turn to show up for her.
Every dollar helps. Share this post, donate what you can, and help us keep our girl here a little longer.
Visit www.popsmokek9forveterans.org to donate for Cheyenne today. She is worth it.
We love you, Cheyenne. 🐾
