Hazel is loving 11-year-old pit bull mix in Stamford, CT, who needs $2,000 for surgery and chemotherapy to treat her cancer.

Hazel found herself at a local shelter at 11 years old after her owners decided they could no longer care for her. She was hours from being euthanized because of her medical issues (unknown at that time as the shelter only does minimal diagnostics) when PPR stepped in and saved her. Once she arrived at our primary care vet, she underwent testing of her masses along with chest x-rays and an abdominal ultrasound. The diagnosis was mast cell cancer - and it had invaded into one of Hazel's lymph nodes.
