Colonel Beauregard — a7e500

We've been together his entire 9 years, after stumbling into each other's lives when he was only 5.5 weeks old. I rescued him after a plea was made on Craigslist from a farmer's wife whose husband was planning to drown him and his siblings in the river. He sat on my feet, and I scooped him and took him from that terrible place. His name comes from a book I was reading in college.

Beauregard sleeps in the sunshine by the glass sliding doors during the day, and cuddles with me in bed at night (he's always little spoon). His favorite thing to do is hike the Washington mountains with me, and dare I bring a ball, he can fit 3 in his mouth! He's an extremely vocal boy, always telling me how he's feeling - he loves to sing!

I lost my job due to Covid in December 2020, and am now trying to survive on unemployment benefits which is not much. Financial assistance would greatly help us as I cannot come up with the funds on my own.

Beauregard went in for an ACL surgery on March 10th, and during pre-op examination the surgeon found an osteosarcoma in his front right wrist. The ELIAS immunotherapy procedure we have decided to go with will greatly prolong his life and give him a better quality of life. Beau has an aggressive cancer, so we must move quickly.

"I want to keep you from pain, I want to cure you, I want to save you", I whispered to my precious boy. With his head gently on my knee, he looked up at me as if to say "I know, mom". Beauregard is a dog even more special & unique than his name. Everyone he meets falls in love with is soft demeanor and goofy smile. He is my protector, and now it is my turn to protect him.
