MAUREPAS, La. (BRPROUD) – The Humane Society of Louisiana is trying to help a local pet owner by raising awareness of their cause so they don’t have to keep selling their plasma to help pay for his MRI. his dog.
The Humane Society says an MRI costs between $2,500 and $3,000, and Shana Lowell de Maurepas doesn’t have the money.
Lowell has been selling his plasma twice a week for three months to pay for his 13-year-old Pomeranian’s MRI. The Humane Society says an MRI is needed for Kodiak, the dog, because he could possibly have a spinal infection or a bulging or slipped disc. However, the vet won’t know until an MRI is completed.
As plasma donations are not enough, Lowell has created a GoFundMe page to raise money for Kodiak’s pet bills. She also started selling dreamcatchers and baked goods such as brownies, pralines, pies, cream cheese muffins, and more. Email Lowell at [email protected] to purchase a dream catcher or treat.
