Dutchess Johnson is a 13-year-old Corgi/Mix in Lexington, KY, who needs $696 for a large Growth Removal.

After losing Magic to Parvo in 2000, We didn’t want to put our boys through that trauma again. However, in 2007 we had a huge change of heart and lived in a place we could have pets, that’s when Dutchess came into our hearts/home, born in the dead of winter, the only survivor of the litter. My husband’s co-worker promised us a dog, so he kept his word and gave us his only pup in Jan. 08 @ 6wks.

Dutchess was named by my sister because of her prissy demeanor and believe you me she earned every bit of the name. She loves people, more importantly she loves kids, she loves it when you throw her toys so she can run and get them. Even now at 13yr she still loves to run after balls, play tug-o-war, and hide and seek. Every time the doorbell rings she barks like security but wags in submission.

With the pressing amount of bills/debit we already have then not receiving a stimulus check this go round, we are in desperate need of help getting our fur baby’s tumor taken off her elbow. She’s 13yrs old but our baby has so much spunk in her euthanizing is not an option!

We didn’t notice a bump growing on her elbow until it was the size a golf ball early last year. It didn’t seem to bother her but started to grow even more we took her to her vet Dr. Riggs @ Eastland Animal Clinic, and was able to use our 1st stimulus check in April 2020 to have it remove. Now it’s back, growing at a faster rate, it looks as if it could pop at any moment, and she very uncomfortable

Dutchess is even more special to me now because since becoming disabled in 2016, she has become the mother and I the child. Home alone on a daily basis, Dutchess watches my every move, I can’t be out of my room for long or she’ll whine until I get back in there. She doesn’t like anyone letting her out to the bathroom but me, and she will sit and stare me down and whine until I get up to let her out
