Daisy is a 8 year old Mix-Breed in Somerdale, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Radiation Therapy.

I didn't expect that - my family brought some donations to the Animal Welfare Association in Voorhees, NJ. My son met Daisy first, in her little pen. We already had a dog. We had two cats. We had a rabbit...and three chickens. "NO no no," I said. Then Daisy came over to the doorway of her pen and just looked at me - like what you see in that first picture. I was all in from there.

I didn't expect this, too - Daisy started slowing down in the summer. Didn't want to walk anymore. The vet said it was a tumor pressing on her spine. So we operated, and she recovered within two weeks, running again. Three months later the doctor said it's come back again. Worse - like cancer on steroids. Daisy needs a second surgery and radiation treatment this time.

If Daisy wasn't a dog, she'd be a center fielder. She is stellar at catching her ball and bringing whatever you toss back. She loves everyone too - for a Shepherd/Collie super mutt, she's got a lot of personalities in her DNA, but at the center of it all is love. She loves everyone and everything. She is an expert hugger, teaches her dog pack to behave when they're wild, and loves ice cream.

We've invested about $13,000 in Daisy's care already. We are proud of that because we could. Now though, it's getting tight. And we're humbly asking for any amount to give to the vets who are helping give Daisy a full recovery from cancer.
