My name is Norick, I am a four year old German shepherd dog, and I NEED HELP!!!!!!
 Don't let this handsome mug and rugged looking exterior fool you. Although I may appear just fine on the outside on the inside I'm pretty screwed up. My vet can vouch for that any day seeing that I'm there once a week getting my weekly allergy injection. I know that might just come across as me being spoiled, but wait... there is much more to it!!! If I don’t get my shots AND medication I itch and scratch until I'm bloody which immediately turns to staph infection. (because of my compromised immune system) I have pretty much lived on antibiotics more than half of my short life. It gets expensive and time consuming, but my mom loves me more than anything and says I'm worth it. (I have her trained pretty well)
 Speaking of which, I like to challenge her and keep her on her toes and what better way to do that than have a genetic heart condition that makes me surgical risk. (my brother had the same condition, but we lost him on the operating table during hip surgery a few years ago) Those of you who know me well will not at all be surprised to hear that I didn't stop there. Now I have a spinal disease that is causing paralysis in my rear left leg. We can't treat it because we don't have a diagnosis yet. In order to get one I will need a ct-scan. I've just been informed by my mom that those are not cheap!!
 I've asked her to help me get this ct-scan so I can be treated properly and hopefully add thousands of beach walks to my lifetime, but sadly her back is against the wall right now. She is recovering from a pitbull attack last year and awaits many surgeries to reconstruct her leg. Work has not been steady and for the time ever she has had to tell me no! She just doesn't have the funds for my ct-scan. I've applied for a couple of jobs to try to contribute to the household, but it appears that no one is willing to pay that much for going to the beach and being handsome.
So asking you guys to help in any way that you can, IF you can is really my last resort. You see, I'm just not close to being done with terrorizing this world (or some of your dogs!!!) and I still have millions of kisses to collect.
Thank you for listening to my story and much thanks in advance for any contributions you may be able to help us with!!!!
