Gatsby is a 12-year-old Maltese mix in Williamsville, NY, who needs $2,000 for pain treatment and surgery.

I rescued Gatsby from an animal farm raid. And he has been the love of my life ever since. He has been there for me through some of the toughest times of my life, including the death of my mother, and my father’s battle with cancer . He is family, not just a dog. And now that my father is fighting cancer, he has been by his side day and night. Constantly keeping him company, and keeping his spirits lifted. When he got sick the other night, very suddenly, my father was devastated, especially because he knows I cannot afford to give him the medical care he needs in order to live .
