About this campaign

UPDATE***
Cody got his Radiation treatment. You can see he got a cape for being a super hero!
He was brought in the vet specialists and we had to wait outside for 6 hours for everything to be done. It was upsetting and we wondered if he felt alone. BUT Cody also got pet of the month at the treatment center! They told us all he wanted to do was be with someone while recovering. So the vet assistants took turns cuddling with him in the cage. The fell in love with him.
The other picture is him coming out of his first Chemo treatment. He was lethargic, the tech said he was sad like he thought we were not going to be there after the treatment. We were and he quickly trotted into my sons arms. So far we have made the payments with the credit cards, and a new loan.
I hope somewhere a prayer will be answered and financial help will get better.

Cody is only four-months-old and was just diagnosed with cancer.

His family is absolutely crushed. "We got the most terrible upsetting news," his human mom, Kelly C. tells Waggle. "He had bone cancer in his leg. We were devastated. We turned into mush. My son could not understand how a kind loving animal, and his best friend could have this horrible disease."

Most pet owners will tell you there's never enough time you can spend with your animals. It goes by too quickly. If Kelly and her family can't help Cody fight his cancer the time they've had with him will be significantly shortened.

"We adopted Cody when he was 10 months old," Kellly says. "We found out how much of a lover he was. All he wanted was to be by you and be pet. Cody sleeps in the room with my son, Cody is my son's buddy and another brother."

Cody is a dream come true for her son. "I went through a bad divorce, and my son was teased while growing up. He always helped and didn't let teasing stop him from doing the right things. When we finally got our own place he wanted a dog," she says.

They found Cody listed on an adoption site. They were third in line to meet him, but they wanted him to be their dog so much they waited all day for the chance to meet him. And that was that!

"We were given the chance to adopt him," Kelly adds. "Cody was what our family needed. He would sit on your lap if you let him, but is 150 pounds!"

Recently Cody started to limp. Kelly figured he just sprained his leg because he loves to run. When his leg didn't get better she brought him for an X-ray and that's when she found out he has bone cancer.
