Atticus is a 11-year-old Boxer Mix in Pendleton, SC, who needs $1,200 for Skin Mass Removal & Biopsy.

I adopted Atticus from a former client of mine (Im a former hairstylist) when he was 10 months old. He turned 11 years old on December 21, 2023. He has a baby brother named Eros who just turned 1 and an “older” brother named Tucker who is about the same age as Atticus/slightly older (11/12).

Atticus’s favorite person outside of “mom” is my roommate Josh. He watches him play videogames and will alternate sleeping in his room and my room at nighttime. Atticus sleeps in the big beds just like people - head on the pillow and body under the blankets!

Atticus has never missed a snack tossed to him. Ever. He can be sound asleep. Toss a goldfish his way and he will wake up and snap it right out of the air! Haha!

Atticus had a small skin tag on his foot. It rapidly got bigger over the span of a couple weeks and has grown to the size of a small tumor. I took him to Magnolia Veterinary Hospital and had him looked over. They weren’t sure if it was cancer or not but agreed due to its rapid changes that it needed to come off quickly and be sent for biopsy.

I am on disability as I have Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. I have a lot of medical bills and medication bills due to my illness and I am unable to work to help supplement my income. I would love to be able to pay to have this tumor removed to keep him around longer
