Hazel Booth is a 5-year-old Pitbull Lab Mix in Chester, VA, who needs $1,100 for CT Scan/ Rhinoscopy.

When I was a waitress living in Georgia there was a free adoptions sign right across the street and I went over there and saw her and instantly fell in love. I brought her home and decided to name her Hazel Marie. The name just clicked and I call her my little Hazelnut. Before she was mine her previous owners abandoned her. So we rescued each other.

Hazel is the silliest and most playful dog ever. She's a big cuddle bug. She always lays on my fiancé and I's chest or gets right in between us. The family that she has met she has loved. All of my cousins have dogs of their own. She loves all animals and people. Even after her previous owners abandoned her and left her to die, her personality shines through and lights up every room.

Getting these tests done to find out what's wrong with our baby girl would mean the world to us. She's a healthy 5 year old with a very unexpected illness. We spent the rest of our money on her bloodwork alone.

Hazel's nose started bleeding about 1 month ago once or twice a week. Our vet at VetXpress suggested we go to Virginia Veterinary Centers as Hazel's nosebleeds turned into her sneezing out blood clots and bleeding every 5-10 minutes. We brought her to the emergency room there and ran her bloodwork and vitals. They came back normal. That means it's something more serious like cancer or a tumor.

My fiancé has said to me "Honestly, Hazel is the dog version of you." She is very silly. She smiles all the time and shows her teeth. It's adorable. She has this pumpkin squeaky toy she sleeps with and carries it around everywhere. She also loves to play fetch with her toys. She'll mess with you acting like she handing you the toy and then runs away when you try to grab it.
