Chance is a 10 year old Border Collie in Flanders, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Surgery for Decompression of T12-13 Spinal Lesions.

I’ve had Chance since the day he was born, when I was only 15 years old. He has been by my side now for almost 11 years. He’s been with me through every accomplishment, struggle, break up, multiple moves, the birth of my daughter, everything. He’s been the best companion and protector I could’ve asked for. Chance also has a huge attachment to my 4 year old daughter & sleeps in her room each night.

Chance's recent MRI at Guardian Specialists in NY revealed lesions along his lower spine and some by his neck. The lower lesions have compressed on his spine and left his back legs completely immobile. He needs surgery desperately to remove the lowers lesions so he can walk again and we can figure out exactly what he is dealing with. Is this cancer or some other type of treatable infection?

Since he was only a baby, Chance has always had the calmest and sweetest demeanor. We have been inseparable since he was born. He is such a smart dog and always excelled in learning new tricks. His favorite things to do are play frisbee and go swimming. He has always made me feel safe when living alone with a young toddler. He truly is the best and loyal dog that deserves more time with his family

I have already spent over $10,000 trying to find answers to why he lost his back leg mobility and now we know and need to act. But as a single young mom who has 3 jobs and has to pay rent, a car payment, day care tuition and so much more I simply cannot afford this surgery.
