Ace is a 9-year-old Labrador in Troy, NY, who needs $2,000 for a CT scan.

My boy Ace is a 9 year old silver lab. I have had him since he was 8 weeks. He currently lives in a house with myself and my other lab, Reese. He is very healthy, happy and a lover! He loves anyone and everything he meets. He tends to get himself ooh trouble for his love of food and I must always keep a close eye on him

Ace is the biggest lover you’ll ever know. He is the most friendly, loving dog I’ve ever known/had. He is quite mischievous, but there is not a mean bone in his body. He and my other lab are best friends. He feds along great with other dogs and people. He does like to jump on people but that’s his way of saying hello. He’s always so excited. He loves to go out for walks, to swim, fetch, etc.

Everything about Ace makes me smile. He is the smartest, most trouble making dog I’ve ever had. He opens all doors, my microwave, and will put absolutely anything into his mouth. He have the cutest head tilt to any little noise and follows me around the house every step I take and always seems to know my next move. He is the ultimate cuddled and loves to be as close as possible and sleep with me.

Ace has had a mass on his chest and bladder both believed to be cancerous after several tests. After seeing an oncologist and doing a CT for over $5,000, it is now believed they may be benign or, the oncologist said, something could be brewing. He suggests repeat CT on 12/16 for another $5,000 to see if there is or isn’t anything dangerous inside him. The vet is Guardian in Brewster, NY.

I am a single woman who lives paycheck to paycheck and does not have any emergency funds, unfortunately. At this point I am already approximately $8500 into this and have exhausted all funds I have. This was so completely unexpected. I need to do this repeat CT to ensure Ace's health.
