Daphne is a 10-year-old Boxer Mix in Scottsburg, IN, who needs $2,000 for Chemo Treatment.

Daphne came into our life by mere chance. A friend of ours needed to rehome her and we just so happened to be looking for a puppy to adopt! It worked out perfectly so, that our friend could come visit her any time she liked and we could add a new member to our family where we knew her history and how well she was taken care of previously.

Daphne absolutely loves belly rubs and treats! She loves meeting new humans and loves getting pets by any body she meets. She sleeps in her own bed at the bottom of our bed. My son talks daily about how cute Daphne's face is and her cute paws. He loves her so much and talks constantly about how he loves to take care of her.

This news couldn't have came at the worst time because we just lost our beloved Joseph to a very aggressive mouth cancer. We want to be able to get Daphne's cancer to be in remission if possible but we need help to pay for her treatment. We would be forever thankful!!

About a year ago we started to see a bump starting to appear on Daphne's side. We thought at first it was a bug bite but then it started to grow. When we took her to the vet and were able to get it surgically removed they sent it off and it came back as a High Grade Mast Cell Tumor. St. Clair's Veternary Hospital is suggesting chemo and on-going medication for the rest of her life.

Daphne is anxious when it is storming outside. She wants to be cuddled and does not realize that she is a 100 lb dog. She is such a lap dog. She loves to be near you at all times and wants to go where ever you go. She is extremely smart and will communicate her wants and needs. She does such a good job during care rides and at the vet. The doctors and assistants love her!
