Crumb is a 13 year old Mix-Breed in Raleigh, NC, who needs $10,000 for Tumor Removal and Emergency Spay.

Crumb was adopted from a farm in Four Oaks, NC in 2013. She was the runt and so tiny she fit in the palm of a hand; that's how she got her name. Unable to suckle with her siblings, we had to bottle-feed. She cried the whole ride home but settled into a clothes basket where she slept her first 3 months. After 10 years in a single-wide, we bought a house in 2023 so she’d have more space and a yard.

We took Crumb to the vet in February 2026 for allergies because she was very itchy. During the exam, the vet found a large tumor on her rear. Further testing revealed another possible mass near her spleen. At BluePearl, specialists confirmed the rear/vaginal tumor, but the second “tumor” turned out to be an ovarian cyst after additional testing. We were quoted 7.5-10k initially to remove the mass.

Crumb has been with us through many trials and has never wavered in her love. She’s always a joy to come home to. In 2020, mom was furloughed and stayed home with Crumb while the world shut down. When not with her parents, she spent time with grandpa, who passed in April 2024, and visited him for a long time that last day. Now she stays with grandma when both parents are working.

We already paid for surgery to remove 3 small mammary tumors in September 2025. Since then, we’ve spent about 2.5k on testing for this new set of tumors. We’re also facing a hospital bill from Mom’s ER visit, Mom’s dental work, Dad’s car repairs, plus regular bills.
