Gunner is a 10 year old Mix-Breed in Puyallup, WA, who needs $1,900 for Tumor Removal and Testing.

I adopted Gunner about 2 years ago from a local shelter, because how do you say no to that face? He’s half border collie, half lab. He’s by my side almost all day every day and gets to go to work with me. I’ve never owned such a sweet, calm, and friendly dog. We were homeless for a good amount of time about 6 months ago and his demeanor never wavered and he’s always got that smile on his face.

As you can see from one of the pictures, Gunner developed a massive tumor on his back leg overnight about 2 months ago and it’s split open and constantly bleeding. He’s clearly in pain and uncomfortable. Myself and the doctors at VCA Panther Lake are afraid that it’s cancerous but there’s no way to know without testing it, and it’s so large it doesn’t make sense to not remove it also.

Gunner hasn’t met a person or dog he didn’t love. All he wants to do all day is play fetch, take naps, and get pets. He instantly becomes best friends with you when you meet. He’s as sweet as they come and second to none.

I was homeless for about 8 months last year and I’ve been getting back on my feet and trying to stay afloat. This tumor popped up over night and is gonna cost $2000 I don’t have and don’t know when I’ll have it. I can’t keep him suffering like this.
