Chester is a 5-year-old Basenji Mix in Lakeville, MN, who needs $1,870 for Chemotherapy (CHOP).

Chester was diagnosed with lymphoma. Chester is from a rescue we were lucky to get him as a puppy. He has been with us since we rescued him in February of 2018. He is now 5 yrs old and has a 7 month old lab sister he is teaching bad habits. Chester helps to calm a family member that has autism. Chester does live with 2 doggie sisters. He has 3 humans to look after as well.

Chester plays with Khloe his sister who is 7 months old and he is teaching her bad habits. Chester likes to tell all the other dogs in the neighborhood that this is his house and greets the delivery people by jumping at the door sometimes scarring them. Chester knows when we are upset and is in our face loving on us. He will steal his sisters toys and loves playing fetch.

Chester loves to bark at the lawn service and they just smile at him. Chester loves to play keep away even though I don’t like that game. He lays on the back of my chair like a cat and I laugh at him all the time. He also sleeps under blankets and loves my green pay packer blanket. He loves to go bye bye he runs around the house like a crazy dog thinking we are leaving without him

Chester has been healthy up until the last 2 months where he was drinking and urinating more after multiple vet appointments the vet found enlarged lymph nodes and biopsied them and it came back as lymphoma. We have started him on prednisone and Lspar but that will only help for a short time we so get him into remission we need to do chemo.

I am disabled due to hypoparathyroidism and get less than 1000 dollars a month and to make that stretch is hard. I want to have more time with Chester because he is very attached to me and he has been my buddy every time I’ve had surgery and I need my buddy for the next time
