Help Chilli get Bone removal/Tumor Removal — Billings, MT

Chilli and I rescued each other 3 years ago at the shelter in Missoula. Since then we've moved cities, traveled the state extensively, walked and hiked over a thousand miles. She is my ride or die and I don't remember a life without her. She loves people and brings joy with her everywhere she goes with her kind eyes and calm demeanor. She loves belly scratches and anything that she can chase

Chilli went to Billings Animal Clinic due to a bloody nose in her left nostril that bled for a concerning amount of time. That led to a surgery to see what was in her left nostril and an extraction of 5 tablespoons of debris. The debris was sent for testing and is fibrous tumor tissue so she was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma and requires a surgery to remove bone so the tumor does not metastisize

Our bond was immediate when we met. She is the first dog I have ever owned as an adult. Seeing her little nubbin wagging when I started talking to her at the shelter melted my heart and the rest is history. We understand each other on a level that is deeper than can be expressed. Everywhere she is allowed to go with me she goes. She got a second chance at life and she isn't done

I am fortunate to have a great job. I put money aside specifically for her care including her allergy shots. But even I couldn't be prepared for $6000 worth of vet bills in a two week span. I'm a single DogDad and can only do so much alone.
