Ares is a 9 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier in Las Vegas, NV, who needs $2,000 for Radiation Therapy.

I rescued Ares when he was about 2 years old from the animal foundation here in Vegas. But saying I rescued him is wrong, he SAVED ME. I got him about 6 months after trying to commit suicide and he's given me a reason to live everyday since. We live in a large house and he has 2 other siblings that came along after. We are a small but happy family and we rely on eachother.

Ares was misdiagnosed with a hygroma which has since been removed but due to the location they weren't able to remove the entire tumor. Since, he has been diagnosed with a low grade soft tissue sarcoma which he has to have 17 consecutive treatments of radiation in Carlsbad, CA, because removal of the limb would reduce his quality of life since he is already an amputee and would need a wheelchair.

Ares is the foundation of my family and he is MY ROCK. Ares loves everyone he interacts with but he loves his momma and his momma is gonna go to the grave right with him when he goes. Hes touched my heart in a way that nothing else will ever be able to, he not only taught me how to love but taught me what it felt like to be loved, unconditionally.

His treatment and stay total is $16,300 which is an unexpected cost but one that I simply don't have the funds for as a single income home. Even after taking from my 401k I am still extremely short of the funds needed for his treatment and I need all the help I can get.
