Clarisse is a 7 year old Rottweiler in Milford , PA, who needs $2,000 for Radiation Therapy.

Clarisse was always a little stinker from the day we brought her home. Always teasing her older brother with his toys an taking them from him. They are always together since they met. She comes off as a tuffy but is really a sweetheart. They are inseparable and spend their days in each other's company.

Earlier this week we learned Clarisse has developed Fibrosarcoma in her sinuses. We tried to find the best way to treat this but radiation therapy is the only way to save her. Given the location of the tumor we were told by several oncologists that is her saving grace. The is a very expensive treatment estimated at$15,000. This includes a visit with the oncologist, a CT scan and radiation.

Clarisse loves to go for walks in the woods behind our house. She is fascinated by all the wildlife around us. She also loves to chase the red dot laser my husband has on his guns. Just say laser and she comes running. Just seeing my husband put his gun on and she starts looking for the laser. She is truly OCD with that laser. She loves her squeaky toys and carries them all over in her mouth.

We are a one income family as my husband had a heart attack and can no longer work. We have 3 dogs and barely make ends meet. We are struggling to pay our regular bills and this added expense will put us over the top. I do the best I can handling our expenses. It's tough.
