Dexter is a 10 year old Mix-Breed in Yulee, FL, who needs $1,200 for Exam, Bloodwork, Scan, Medicine, & or Vaccinations.

Dexter is a 10 y/o pit/lab mix I rescued in 2016 from BlueSky Veterinary Center in Jax Beach, FL, where I worked as a kennel tech. He came from Clay County Humane Society & had been there for months when I started in 2015. When the clinic later closed, I was told he would be euthanized if not adopted. No one stepped up, so I adopted him to save his life. He has been by my side ever since.

Dexter was originally treated for heartworm at BlueSky Vet Center in Jax Beach, FL & fully cleared, & has remained on HW prevention. He receives routine care such as vaccines through a nearby vet & Petco clinics. He hasnt had a full exam in some time due to my disability. Recently, he has developed multiple lipomas, 2 getting larger, & a concerning chest swelling that requires imaging & bloodwork.

Dexter is special & very much bonded to me. He was never formally trained, he is naturally a good boy & has always been the perfect companion. He is affectionate, quiet, & well behaved around people, but he mainly stays close to me. I live with PTSD & MS; when I’m sick he stays beside me calmly, offering comfort just by being there. He is deeply connected to me & brings steady emotional support.

Dexter needs imaging & bloodwork to properly diagnose his lipomas & the bulging in his chest. I am on disability w/ a fixed income & cannot cover these costs right now. Getting him diagnosed & treated would ensure he receives the care he urgently needs so it does not worsen
