Bruce is a 7-year-old Terrier Mix in Anderson, IN, who needs $1,500 for an amputation.

Bruce (and his brother Stewart) have been with me since they were both about 6 weeks old. Bruce was rescued from a humane society after what we assume is he was abandoned. He was in a cage with almost 8 other dogs. It’s was really sad but all he did was look at my mom and I and smile and wag his tail. We took him home the day we met him.

Bruce is the most friendly dog I have ever had or let alone even been around. As soon as people enter the driveway he gets so exited and just loves the attention. He originally didn’t even bark until he was almost 2 years old. He loves everybody and has the most beautiful soul I’ve seen. When he sees people the first thing he does is roll over and want belly scratches.

This is 100% something that came at the wrong time. With Covid and everything else financially it has been hard. I lost two weeks of work due to the flu and just got out of bankruptcy so I can’t even get care credit yet. I have been saving, but I fear I won’t have it in time

Bruce has bone cancer. There’s no easy way to say it. The vet told me he either needs his arm amputated or about 2 months to live. It was definitely a shock. His vet is Devonshire and veterinary is Dr Smiley. It’s gotten to the point where the tumor just keeps growing. He doesn’t put his leg on the ground anymore and it almost looks like the tumor is trying to fuse with his elbow.

Bruce’s best friend (aside from people) is his brother Stewart. The two of them were rescued by my mom and I the same day and they have never been separated since. He didn’t learn how to bark until he was almost 2 years old, and it is one of the most memorable days of my life. I just had to sit with him and tell him to talk to me for about and hour and he did.
