Ghost is a 4-month-old Mastiff/Samoyed/Husky in Buffalo, NY, who needs $1,500 for Diagnostic Scans and Prescriptions.

Well, the plan was to take my sister to get her dog Echo from a family who live an hour away. I had no intentions of getting a pet but the family had brought two dogs Echo and this cute fluff ball who later became my Ghost. I've had Ghost since he was seven weeks old. Within the family, we have eight dogs, two of whom regularly visit me, Max and Morty.

Ghost is great, he loves playing with his siblings Max, Morty, Trey, and Echo. He's quiet but loves playing with his chew toys and chasing balls. He loves hiding under the bed and moving around the house to find the coldest spots on the floor.

The one whom Ghost can't get enough of is his sibling Echo from the same litter he came from. They just play all day and knock themselves out from how tired they get. Anything that squeaks gets his attention. He hasn't had the chance to experience snow yet but he loves cold weather and sitting on the cold concrete outside. The way he sleeps upside down with his tongue sticking out is a great view.

Since I've gotten Ghost he's had chronic diarrhea, which seems to be subsiding with the new round of antibiotics and stomach lining meds. But what has come up most recently is his front leg. He has lost motor function I've taken him to two veterinary clinics that say the same, nothing is broken it's neurological. Now I have to find specialists in Neurology, podiatry, and Physical therapy.

I was able to cover the cost of all his meds for his gastro problems and some of his new pain meds for his leg. But the vet bills are starting to get a pile. Diagnostics, x-rays, bloodwork, and what else is to come down the road with new specialists.
