Freckles is a 11-year-old Red Heeler Mix in Milford, MA, who needs $950 for Mass Removal Surgery.

I found Freckles when she was around 10 months old, when she was abandoned at a dog park. I brought her home with plans to turn over to rescue I fostered for. After waiting the 7 days before they could step in, I had come to realize that my older girl Honey was very attached. Which she didn’t do very often, especially to foster dogs. So, was decided I would keep them together.

Freckles is the Yang to Honey’s Ying. She has always been a sweet soul, with balanced energy. Loves people! So much she earned the nickname “traitor baby” Because she has no loyalty to me if someone else is willing to pet her. But, she is essential to Honey. Honey loves to cuddle with Freckles and will often sit with Freckles and groom her. Freckles is like Honey’s support dog at times.

She is a goober. She loves her wiggles. She can be sprinting across the yard and suddenly decide to do a somersault into a wiggle session.
Since she has a short snout, she has trouble breathing so she snores, which is so hypnotic to listen to! I easily fall asleep snuggled with her listening to her snore. And have to love those teeth exposed when she sleeps! Can’t resist the urge to touch them!

Freckles has had a mass on her front leg for couple years now. But there was concerns about removal, as she has a heart murmur and I was also concerned about if removal would make more grow andnot worth the risk with the murmur. Well, recently, it has torn from the leg and now requires immediate removal. So, don’t really have a choice but remove it now.

Been tight on finances, already living paycheck to paycheck, not having ability to squirrel money away for emergencies like this.
But Freckles is so important to my little family, I must try and find a way to make her better and keep her with us
