Bentley is a 12-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in Hillsboro, OR, who needs $2,000 for CT Scan.

I got Bentley 12 years ago when I lived in Seattle from a breeder who had a litter of cavalier puppies by accident. He has lived in Washington, Louisiana and now Oregon. He is an only child and he loves it that way.

Bentley is the most easy going dog I have ever been around. He makes friends with every human and he thinks he’s a person. At home he enjoys watching TV and playing with his laser pointer, his alligator or a Tupperware container. Although he is 12, you couldn’t tell because he still has that zest for life and he prances around on his walks like he’s a puppy still.

Bentley loves to watch TV and he barks at animals but he also enjoys a good football game, although I think he’s just waiting for an animal to pop up. He’s been watching TV since he was a little puppy and he’s never stopped. His favorite place to sleep is on my head and I usually end up giving up my pillow to him or I take a small corner of it while he stretches out.

Bentley was diagnosed with CRANIAL MEDIASTINAL THYMOMA which is a form of cancer. He has a very large tumor in his chest cavity between his lungs by his heart. The treatment is surgery and the first step is a CT scan. The scan costs $3000 and the surgery is $4-$8k depending. He is being seen by Veterinary Cancer & Surgery Specialists of Oregon.

I experienced a natural disaster and attempted to rebuild my home back in 2016-2017, I owe a large amount of back taxes. Bentley is my best friend and he goes everywhere with me. I literally take him everywhere with me and I can’t lose him.
