Halo Is Still Choosing Life — Help Us Give Her More Good Days

Halo is one of Woof Tribe’s most cherished sanctuary and fospice dogs. Halo is deeply loved by everyone who knows her, and despite her cancer diagnosis, she continues to show us every day that she is still enjoying life. She is bright, alert, comfortable, eating well, walking, breathing normally, and surrounded by constant love and care in her incredible fospice home.

Recently, Halo underwent advanced genomic tumor testing through VetOmics, and the results gave us something we desperately hoped for: another possible option to help buy her more good time. Her report showed that her tumor is classified as TMB-high, meaning it has a high tumor mutation burden. This may make Halo a strong candidate for immunotherapy, a treatment designed to help her immune system better recognize and fight the cancer cells. Based on her results, the top recommendation from the report is Gilvetmab, an IV immunotherapy treatment administered every two weeks.

Halo’s oncology team is now working through the best plan for her care, but timing matters. We do not want to lose valuable time while she is still happy, stable, and very much choosing life. This campaign is being created to help cover the cost of Halo’s recommended biweekly Gilvetmab treatments along with the follow-up imaging needed to monitor her response to therapy.

Current estimated costs include:

\\- Six Gilvetmab immunotherapy treatments at $1,559 each totaling $9,354 - Follow-up chest x-rays estimated at $500

Our campaign goal is $9,854.

We know this treatment is not about chasing forever. Halo’s family and medical team understand the reality of her diagnosis. This is about giving her more quality time while she is still comfortable, joyful, and able to enjoy the life she loves so much. Every extra good day matters.

Halo already has everything every dog deserves — a devoted fospice home, fresh-cooked cancer-supportive meals, ongoing oncology care, endless companionship, and a community that adores her. Now we are asking for help to give her access to the treatment her oncology team believes may help extend her good quality of life.

Please consider donating to help Halo begin immunotherapy and continue receiving the care she needs. Every contribution helps buy this beloved girl more comfort, more love, and more time surrounded by the people who cherish her.
