Bailey is a 5-year-old Blue Heeler in Phoenix, AZ, who needs $1,500 for mass removal.

We found Bailey on Facebook back in July 2017. The family who found her could not keep her so we decided to rescue her. She has been the sweetest girl since day one. We brought her home and she immediately got along with our 2 other dogs. She took to me more than my mom and quickly became attached to me at the hip. She never leaves my side. In 2019 I decided to move to AZ. Bailey came with.

Now that we moved to AZ it is me, Bailey, her sister Mya and my boyfriend. She LOVES everyone she meets. She just wants to be pet 24/7. She loves to cuddle. And since we moved to AZ she is a great guard dog. Anything she hears unusual she barks and comes to stand by my side. She loves car rides and usually comes everywhere with us. She especially loves to go to the park to watch basketball.

I have already spent almost $2000 in testing for the mass. It continues to grow rapidly but tests all come back non cancerous, I have used all my savings on tests & meds & now need $2,800 to attempt to remove the mass. It may lead to amputation. She is only 5 years old & happy.

Bailey started to grow a bump under her armpit back in May. It was very small. Didn’t grow much. Then in July it grew very rapidly, but still didn’t affect her walking. The 1st vet we went to said to watch it but there was no need to remove due to no cancerous cells. A month later it grew again & she could not walk, we went to Scottsdale Hills Animal Hospital & have since been treating it.

Bailey loves to play catch. She loves car rides but only to be wherever we are. She loves going to places like Home Depot or Petsmart because there are more people to pet her. I used to take her to the dog park and she never played with the dogs, just watched them all run around and sat next to all the humans for rubs. She is well liked in my apartment complex and the vet office.
