Branson Von Ancil is a 6-year-old German Shepherd in Springfield, VA, who needs $2,000 for Viper Bite.

Branson is our one-of-a-kind family member. We got him out of Ohio the litter was sold out and at last minute the person was unable to purchase him and I got him. I've had him since 10wks old. My son who just was killed Aug 31,2023 brought me to go get him for our new family member and since the minute we got him he's been a total blessing and saved me through these last few hard times.

Branson is totally spoiled more than my own children. He has deserved every part of it. My kid's dad passed in June 2023 Branson stayed by his side throughout and supported him when he had to get out of the chair or bed. I had a stroke and he watched over me until help arrived. I have 5 grandkids and Branson is their eyes and ears.

I am Branson main person but he watches and helps all in our family. Both my son 22 years old and my husband just passed within the last 4 months it has left just my 17 yr old and myself. Branson watches the house, yard and both of us. We also have 3 feral cats he will play with in the yard with no troubles where me and son can not even get near them. Branson's heart is as big as his head.

This morning Branson and I were out back playing, and he yipped, I went over to him, he was bleeding from his mouth. About 20 minutes the bleeding stopped. 40 minutes later he asked to go out again and blood poured from his rectum. I rushed him to the hospital where he's still undergoing tests.

Our bill is est. to be $4500 - $5701. My son (17yr) and I live on SSI. My husband of 30 years and my son 22 years old just passed one in June and my son the end of Aug. I have had 2 funerals in the last 4 months. We have no savings even left. Please help Branson he
