Bambi is a 12-year-old Coton de Tulear in Las Vegas, NV, who needs $2,000 for CHOP Chemotherapy.

I never had a Coton de Tulear before but when I was doing my research on hypo allergenic dogs I found the then rare breed and fell in love with their temperment and beautiful hair. I found a reputable breeder and anxiously waited for my puppy. Bambi is now 12 years old. I was married when I got Bambi and we lived in a house. Now I am divorced and we live in a townhouse.

Bambi is literally my best friend. He is such a good companion, I swear he reads my mind. He follows me around the house and sleeps in my bed. He enthusiastically goes on his walks, barking all the way to let the neighbor dogs know that he is out! Bambi loves his treats and insists on getting one every time he does a potty.

Bambi loves visiting with his little dog friends but he gets over protective of me when he sees a big dog. Bambi's favorite toy is his stuffed monkey and he does unspeakable things with it! Bambi loves to watch TV and when he sees another animal he loves barking at it. He is very vocal and is good at communicating his wants and needs.

I discovered lumps in Bambi's neck and feared the worst. I took him to our vet who did a biopsy which came back as Lymphoma. I then took him to an oncologist. They suggested another biopsy to further diagnose the type of lymphoma. That biopsy came back as a rare Small B Cell Lymphoma. Because it is so rare the lab wanted a third biopsy to test for genetics.

I have low income because I am on SS Disability. I started working part-time a few months ago because of inflation I needed more money for food and gas. I am behind on my credit cards so I don't have any available credit for his medical bills. I have already spent $1,300.
