About this campaign

Thanksgiving 2012 I had to send one of my elderly dogs over the rainbow bridge. Since I only rescue or adopt my pets, I went to the shelter on Saturday to find the perfect brother for Peanut. I walked through the many loud dogs, and this one little guy was trembling in the back corner of his crate. I was drawn to him. As we played in the private room, he stole my heart and the rest is history!

Bo is the sweetest snuggle boy! He has 2 canine brothers and 1 feline sister. He is the sweetest of all of them. He's the favorite of everyone who meets him. I don't tell the siblings though. ;) He loves to stay in my lap or right beside me watching TV. If I get up, he's following me where ever I go, so no privacy in the bathroom. 😁 We live in the woods providing deer and turkey viewing he loves.

He has an absolute fetish with tissues. I found this out when I returned to my seat having left one on the sofa. I thought maybe I had misplaced it, but later caught him steal one, run under my bed and begin eating it! Crazy boy! I now automatically just tuck it in my shirt when I sit down. If I happen to forget, I'll find a shredded tissue some random place. The mess is a small price to pay.

Bo had a mass removed 3/1/22 the size of a tangerine. By 3/29 he had another mass growing near the same area which was also removed. Our veterinarian thought he got all the cancer. On 9/27/22, I noticed a new growth and he seemed to have a fever. At his appt, he had bloodwork and x-rays done and was given meds. I know he is still in pain because he trembles frequently.

I'm still paying toward the surgeries, now an additional $800+ for bloodwork and x-rays. In June, a tree fell on my house with expenses putting vet payments further behind. I would be grateful for any help just to keep him comfortable until the inevitable occurs. Thank you!
