Dre is a 4-year-old Bordeaux Mastiff in Bend, OR, who needs $1,386 for cancer treatment and auto-immune disorder treatment.

Dre is a rescue. His previous family said he was too much to handle. Little did they know he just needed more people time. He was starving for attention. We picked up a shy 150 lb. baby to bring him home to his new house and his new family. His two fur brothers welcomed him with open paws. Dre has never had it so good, now he has a big family to show him all the attention he needs/

Dre is a very private family member. He will only sleep in his kennel or on our bed. He loves to play with his fur brother until he's done, and not a second longer. Dre sometimes thinks he is a fish. If he gets in any water he wants to go under and just drink it all. He loves walks especially when he gets to lead.

A year ago I broke my back and am inoperable We have paid out a lot already and now need a little help to cover future costs for Dre as he will be on meds the rest of his life.

Up until January of 2021 Dre had been a healthy boy. I noticed that he was eating slower than usual so we contacted our vet. When we took him in he had a fever of 105 and his spleen was swollen. After 2 weeks worth of testing we took him to a specialist vet, Veterinary Referral Service of Central Oregon. After more testing we learned he has an auto-immune disorder and cancer in his spleen.

Dre is quite a character. He doesn't tell us if he needs to go out or needs food or water, he just comes in the room and stares at us really close. He knows when the drool starts to flow we will figure out he wants something. He doesn't play with toys but he sure will hide them from his fur brother.
