Cheese Mendez is an 8-year-old Labrador Retriever mix in Franklinton, NC, who needs $4,900 for open wound treatment, surgery to close wounds on his back and paw, and may need amputation surgery for a digit.

Cheese came into our life at 4 months cold. He was our first pet. He is very laid back, sweet dog. He loves rubs, not so much to play, but to cuddle alot. He is very attentive, for example if he senses your upset he will go and atempt to cheer you. He is just the sweetest boy that doesn't deserve to be put down.
