Blaze is a 1 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Blaze, AZ, who needs $2,000 for Pericardiocentesis, Cytology, Coccidioidmycosis.

Blaze was born on the anniversary of my boyfriend and I, and it felt meant to be. We already have 2 other dogs, one a pittbull from the same parents as him, and an 11 year old chiweenie. We live in a townhome in Arizona, that is the cheesiest place we can afford. Iy has a nice backyard for the dogs to run in and no pet deposit required.

He has fluid sac in his heart as well as his abdomen, and making it hard for him to breathe. We have him home now, despite vets reccomendations, due to the cost of overnight care and treatment. They want to drain the fluid under sedation, and the sac in his heart is risky. We don't have the $3000 on hand, want him to get better, & figure out why this happened, before we go the route we dont want.

Blaze & his brother Smoke bonded instantly and they are inseparable. Blaze is very emotionally intuitive & loves to make sure mom and dad are ok with all the cuddles & nudges. He is very food motivated & aims to please. He & his brother play all day, especially with the rope we have hanging on our tree. He enjoys walks, but is so eager he likes to pull, despite how mom works to not let him.

I was laid off last spring unexpectedly & have been trying to catch up on my own finances. My boyfriend is in the same boat as well. To have Blaze healthy again would mean the world to us. They make us want to live for them and have the best life possible.
