Bane is a 5-year-old Pit Bull mix in Dowagiac, MI, who needs $862 for tumor removal.

Bane has an issue he doesn't like to discuss. His pooper is a bit broken and needs some medical intervention.

"He began to have this anal gland issue in June, which has progressively worsened. He struggles to go poop and possibly has an abscess," Karianne R., Bane's human mom, tells Waggle.

Now Bane needs surgery to give him some relief, and his family is so worried.

Karianne R. and her husband adopted Bane one day years ago when they just went to "look at dogs" at the local shelter. (You know how that goes!)

"When we walked up to Bane's kennel, he came over, turned his back to us, sat down, and promptly looked over his shoulder at us," Karianne says. "The volunteers said he had a rough life and has the scars to prove it."

They took Bane home on the spot; he was the most well-behaved dog they had ever met! Bane is also an excellent and gentle big brother to two human twins!

But the family can't afford Bane's surgery, and they're panicked his pooper might get worse.

"We have had an unbelievably difficult summer with finances," Karianne says. "I had to have three surgeries since June. My husband and I have had time off due to having twins in the NICU last year and all the added expenses that come with twins. Bane being healthy would mean the word to us!"

Please help Bane poop without pain!
