Diamond is a 10-year-old Dachshund Mix in Dorchester , MA, who needs $2,000 for Spay/ Mammary Tumor Removal Surgery.

Diamond was born in 2012 from my dog angel her mom, She is 15 years old. I watched diamond be born. I watched her nurse and grow, she was a playful adorable puppy. She played a lot with her brothers and sisters. I loved watching her grow. She is still my baby even now.

Diamond is a playful dog even now that she is older. She loves us all, loves to be pet and talked to. Likes to follow me around the house every where I go. When I go to the bathroom she is right their by the door when I come out.

Diamond is a special dog, she loves to be with me everywhere I go. She doesn't like being left at home without me. She comforts me when I'm feeling down. She will come up to me and lick my face and lay next to me. She makes me laugh when she runs around the house with her squeaky toys. Squeaking all through the house.

Diamond has a mammory tumor that needs to be removed, it has enlarged and is very firm to the touch. It's leaking discharge and very painful and uncomfortable for her. I have to put a cone on her neck to prevent her from licking it. Veterinarian says she needs surgery to remove it. Somerville Veterinary Center.

We had a catastrophic house fire September 2, 2023 and lost our home and belongings. Several of our pets died in the fire of smoke inhalation. Diamond and our other dog angel survived. We now live in a scattered shelter until we can get back on our feet.
