Meet Sprite — the bravest little pup with the biggest heart.
At just a young age, this sweet girl has already overcome so much. Sprite was diagnosed with Persistent Right Aortic Arch (PRAA) — a rare condition that caused her esophagus to be constricted, making it nearly impossible for food to reach her stomach. As a result, she became severely malnourished and developed megaesophagus, a condition that prevents proper swallowing.
But Sprite? She’s a fighter.
She underwent a major surgery on March 30th to correct the PRAA — and while she’s made incredible progress, her journey is far from over. Sprite now has to eat in a fully upright position for every meal to avoid choking. We’re working to get her a custom Bailey Chair to help her eat safely and live a full, joyful life.
Her surgery cost $3,100, and the chair will be another important investment in her future.
She’s currently thriving in a loving foster home, enjoying her meals like a proper little lady (sitting up like a human!) and soaking up all the love. We’re hopeful with time, patience, and support, she’ll continue to grow stronger.
But we can’t do it alone — we need YOU.
Will you donate today to help Sprite keep thriving? Your gift, big or small, will directly support her continued care and give her the future she deserves.
