Ace is a 15 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Winston Salem, NC, who needs $2,000 for MRI.

I have had Ace since he was born, literally. New Years Eve 2008 his mama, Roxie, went into labor and shortly after midnight he was born. Ace has been by my side through everything; graduating from college, having children, and losing my other dog Mya. He means the world to me and these past 15 years have just flown by. He is included in everything I do and every family celebration.

On 4/22/2024 I came home from work and Ace was not able to walk. I took him to the vet the next day and they did a physical, x-rays, and bloodwork. His condition is neurological and he needs an MRI at Carolina Veterinary Specialists to determine if he has cancer, a tumor, or a slipped disc. The MRI quote I received was $4,000-$5,000.

Ace has been a sweetheart since birth and absolutely loves anyone he meets. His favorite people however, are children. He always cuddles with my children and loves to sleep under their covers. He also swears he’s part human, he would rather sit in a chair than on the floor. He is a the sweetest boy and I’ve always been able to take him anywhere and around anyone. He steals everyone’s heart.

Ace means the world to me. Getting this MRI will determine the cause of his pain which will allow his vet and I to make the appropriate decision for the next steps in his care and treatment. I just had a baby and money is tight right now. I spent my savings on vet visit.
