Cash is a 12 year old Schipperke in Wilmer, AL, who needs $901 for Eye Removal Surgery.

My dog's name is Cash, named Johnny Cash. My sister found him at Christmas time behind a gas station when he was only about 3 weeks old. After many survival scares and cuddling, he made it. He quickly took to being outside. As a puppy he was energetic and playful. He is now 12 years old and still loves to run and be outside. Although he is older, he is still my little man.

Cash sometimes tries to dig out of the yard. The morning of 4/16, he tried to get to the other side. As he slipped his head through, he caught his eye on the bottom of the chain link fence and ruptured his right eye. He now needs it removed or will face life threatening infections down the road.

Cash is special to us because he is our oldest dog. I have had him since I was in college. My children do not really know a time where he was not around. We call him our "Old Man."

This has been a difficult year for my family including a major wreck causing my husband to need spinal surgery, the washer dying on us, and several major unexpected expenses. Now my Cashy needs surgery. We feel like we are living in the phrase, "When it rains, it pours."
