Deuce is a 5-year-old American staffordshire terrier in 28086, NC, who needs $1,700 for CHOP protocol (chemotherapy).

Deuce came into my life at 4 wks old, 5yrs ago. He had 12 other siblings, so the owner could not care for them all. The funny thing is, he wasn't the dog I chose through the pics but he was the one that was given to me. I say, life put us together. As of right now, it's just me and Deuce in my house hold. He is my companion, my protector, and my heart. My sweet boy.

Deuce loves to sleep right next to you, wherever it might be, He will be right next to you. He does love the bed though. He WILL use you as a body pillow so beware. He still thinks he is the little potato he used to be. So you better enjoy being squished. He loves meeting new people and he makes sure that he showers you with love. Deuce is family to everyone he makes a bond with. Deuce is love.

Because of cover-19, my hours were cut short and my mother and I, did not receive a stimulus check for extra help. This just hit me at a bad time and just the exam and diagnosis were hundreds already. Im not ready to let him go like this. I need him here. He is my family.

Deuce was diagnosed with lymphoma. The option I chose was chemotherapy. I love my dog and it is not in my soul to not fight for him, as I know he would give his life for me, as a dog loves you more than anything in the word. He is being treated at NC State veterinary hospital by Rachael Camiener. He is a fighter and I know he will do everything on his part to be with me longer. I just need help.

Deuce's best friend is Milo, the Yorkie. He literally gets bossed around by a yorkie and chased, when it should be the opposite way around!Deuce is special because everything I have gone through, he has always been by my side, happy and proud of me. He makes me feel needed and loved at my worst and I can never thank him enough for getting me through my worst days. He has a way of saying "I'm here"
