Cholo is a 12-year-old Chihuahua in Vass, NC, who needs $1,300 for Testicle Cancer Mass Removal.

Hi my name is Dustin my wife is Amanda and we have 2 sons Chandler and Mason we adopted Cholo July 2 2010 he was so full of life and Chandler's best friend he is like our 3rd son over the last month cholo scrotum started swelling which you can see in the pictures and vet says it is testicle cancer and as long as it hasn't spreaded they can do surgery and remove the mass

Cholo was once the guard dog or so he thought and now he is our little old man he has horrible separation anxiety so he goes everywhere with us. He has been through so much around 2015 he was mauled by a pitbull the vet claimed he would never walk again and yet he has beat all odds cholo is a warrior and is loved so much by our family

Cholo would lay with our sons until they got out of bed he wouldn't move until then regardless of needing to use bathroom thirsty or hungry he wouldn't leave there sides until they were awake. If you tell cholo to dance he would stand on his back legs and go in circles and when he knew we where leaving he would just get so excited and run to the car

The vet clinic is leaning toward testicle cancer and told us if it hasn't spreaded that it could be removed we currently don't have the funds to go any further with his assessment we are hoping that it hasn't spreaded of course also he has been loosing a lot of weight vet told us that could be a result of the mass as well

We lost our home that we were renting recently and been staying in motels to get by we have had no luck in finding a new place and my wife has had medical issues recently which has exhausted all funds we had
