Diogee is a 9-year-old Pitbull in Pueblo, CO, who needs $2,000 for Surgical Removal of Mast Cell Tumor.

Diogee came to me 9 years ago when my boyfriend, at the time, brought him home as a surprise for me. He brought Diogee's brother 1 year later, and my doggies have been with me ever since. Diogee has always been a loving dog who loves attention and loves to be petted. He is extremely smart, and loves to learn. He protects me and his little brother always. He has brought so much happiness to my life

Diogee loves his daily walks & car rides. He knows when its time for a walk and will follow me around until we go. He also loves to play"Hide-N-Go-Treat", where I hide treats around the yard for him to go find. He has to sleep at the head of he bed with me everynight-on top of all of the pillows. He also loves opening presents every birthday & X-mas. Him and his brother are my family!!

The smile on Diogee's face, everytime I come home, makes me smile no matter what. Even when I have horrible days, seeing Diogee when I walk in the door, makes it all go away. Diogee has taught me what unconditional love is, and has taught me how to love. He is like a child to me. We celebrate all holidays together, have daily walks & rides, and I can't go to the store without bringing a bone home

Diogee was recently diagnosed w/a cancerous mast cell tumor. He has seen Dr. Hasiuk at Mountain View Surgery. I took Diogee in for intial consult and pre-surgery testing. Tests confirmed that the cancer is only on his leg & has not spread yet. Diogee seems perfectly healthy still and is very active and full of energy. I need to get his surgery done ASAP so he does not get sick.

I do not have the money for his surgery. My hours got cut at work in August and I am living paycheck to paycheck right now. The money I had saved, went to pay for Diogee's consult & pre surgery testing, which totaled close to $2,100.
