"We NEED your help! This poor dog named Blanco we took in a few weeks ago is having health issues. He was rushed to Pieper after we noticed his gums were pale. He is obviously upset which is why we muzzled him.
"They found he has an immunosuppressive disorder which could have been brought on by being stressed at our shelter . Blanco's estimate is at $3,500.00-$4,500 and we really need to raise the money . He needed his first blood transfusion and to obviously be watched and will continue to need care and quiet and a low stress environment.
