Gypsy Gal (GG) is a 11-year-old English Setter in Houston, TX, who needs $2,000 for Radiation.

GG came into my life 11 years ago! She was an energetic lovely little girl who has always been excited to run on the beach and chase birds! I got her when I was attending classes in Seattle WA. My dear girl Gypsy Gal (GG) is an English Setter. I grew up with English Setter’s and have a special relationship with them which holds special connection with my Dad who passed away several years ago.

GG is my heart and has been my own ’therapy’ girl/dog for 11 years. She has always been in excellent health and has been with me through thick and thin. My own story involves being diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in 2017 - where I went through extensive treatment, and now and doing well but continue to be monitored closely. We both have been there through so much together.

My husband lost his job due to Covid, and has not yet been able to return to work. I’m on disability given chemo/cancer treatments etc. We are in debt for the past treatments (surgery, CT scans, biopsies, bloodwork, etc.) GG is otherwise very healthy, and deserves life!

GG was diagnosed with Squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth last July time frame during a dental cleaning check up. She was referred to Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists where the Dr.’s evaluated her and recommended various options for treatment. Surgery was performed (we thought successfully and margins clear), however her SCC has now returned and radiation treatment is now being recommended.

GG is the most special sweet girl in the world. I know we all feel that about our fur babies! She is afraid of thunder and will suddenly and often unexpectedly surprise me by jumping up into my lap (she is NOT a lap sized dog!) when a storm is brewing! She is very submissive but sneaks up on the bed when her Daddy is not at home! She loves to sleep on 'soft' cushy places in our home!
