Elbie Mae is a 8 year old Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois) in Redding, CA, who needs $2,000 for Mammary Tumor Removal.

She was meant to be ours. 3 times, while walking on different t streets thus puppy ran up to me, she followed me, and let me love on her like she knew me! I gave her back to her owner every time, but the 4th time I walked into my house and there she was playing with my kids. Nobody knew where she came from. She was destined to be part of our family.

Elbie Mae has a mammary tumor growing from her abdominal area. It needs to be surgically removed. VCA on Hilltop Drive said it will cost $4,000 in total, but they've helped us so far with a pet vet plan that'll cover $2,000. That gets us halfway there, but we don't have any way to come up with the $2,000 we're short. VCA said this needs to be done within about 90 days for her to beat this.

Everybody loves Elbie, and Elbie loves everybody. Every cat, dog, child, rabbit and anything else breathing has to be her friend! She's just the happiest dog, she loves playing with our other fur babies, and she's always been the nanny dog to our grand baby. She is everyone's guardian, so docile, this gentle giant thinks every kitten is her baby. She's got them convinced she's their mom too!

As time progresses this tumor is aggressively growing in size. Recently it's began causing her to help if she looks up too far. It's agonizing to hear this, she doesn't understand what's happening. She looks like her feels got hurt when it happens.
