Please help me help Autumn.

My dog Autumn is suddenly fighting cancer. If you're a friend, a client, a stranger, or anyone who has ever found this website useful — anything you're able to spare means the world to us right now.

What happened

Autumn's cancer diagnosis came out of nowhere. One week she was the dog I've always known — the next week we were sitting in a vet's office hearing news no one is ever ready for. Since then, almost every dollar and every spare hour I have has gone toward her treatment plan: imaging, biopsies, specialist consults, medication, and the follow-ups that come with every step.

Meet Autumn

This is the girl we're fighting for. A few photos of her — before, and during, all of this:

Her tennis ball, her grass, her happy place.

Riding shotgun. She thinks she's driving.

Why I'm asking

I don't normally ask for things. I built BVTech over more than a decade by quietly doing the work, taking care of my clients, and letting the results speak. But this is the one situation where staying quiet doesn't help her. So I'm asking.

If you've ever hired me, been a client, read something on this site that helped you, or shared a referral my way — and you can spare anything — please consider it. Even a small amount adds up. And if you can't donate, sharing the page or this story is genuinely just as meaningful.

How to help

About Waggle

Waggle.org is a veterinary-care crowdfunding platform. Donations go directly to the treating veterinary clinic rather than to me — which means every dollar goes to her care, not to me, and donors can trust where the money is going.

While I'm caretaking

BVTech LLC is still operating. Clients are still cared for. The phone still gets answered. But if you've noticed I've been a little slower to respond to non-urgent messages lately, this is why. I appreciate everyone who has already shown patience and grace as I navigate this.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for caring. Whatever happens with Autumn's treatment, the kindness people have already shown me through this is something I won't forget. — Jordan

Help Autumn Today 🧡

If you'd like to help, every contribution — large or small — goes directly to her veterinary care through Waggle.
