Damian is a 10-year-old Pit Bull in West Milford, NJ, who needs $2,000 for amputation and chemotherapy for bone cancer.

I have been blessed to have Damian in our lives for just over 10 years. He adores his human sister and brother! Damian really is a sweet and loving soul that brings out the best in all of us. He has been my rock through all of life's challenges, and I will do my best to be the same for him. We are going to fight for him as much as he is fighting to stay with us.

Damian is honestly the light in all of our lives. You would not even know he is in so much pain right now. He still jumps up to run and bring a bone to my husband when he walks in the door. He will not even get out of bed until my 4-year-old does. He is always putting us first and showing us just how much he loves us. There is not a single person that meets him who doesn't fall in love with him.

Unfortunately, all the treatment and testing thus far has been expensive. While we will do whatever it takes it is still going to be very difficult to fund everything. Damian never qualified for pet insurance due to a mast cell tumor as a baby.

Damian has been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in his leg. We are going to amputate to relieve the pain, even though he makes sure we don't know how bad it hurts, we know it does. He will also go through five rounds of chemo to help stop the spread since all testing shows it has not spread yet. We have done a clinical vaccine, and pain meds so far. We have also done all of the CT and ultrasounds.

I use to joke and say he is an old man stuck in a dog's body. I know I am biased but he truly is the sweetest and loving soul you would ever meet. He IS always there and knows just when you need that kiss or to lay on your lap when you need a cuddle. He's always making us smile and laugh while he wiggles on his back and smiles. He loves to dress up and taking pictures with the kids.
