About this campaign

Circe is my best friend and loyal companion. She was dropped off at my house for one night before being surrendered to a shelter, but from the moment I met her, I knew she'd never see the inside of one. She's intelligent, loving, empathetic and a quick learner. She's what I look forward to most when leaving work and what I miss most while I'm there.

Circe was recently diagnosed with lymphoma, which seemed to appear out of nowhere. At only 6 years old, it was the last thing I expected to hear after taking her to the vet because she wasn't acting like herself. She has undergone testing and has begun treatment at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital, with more testing and treatment ahead.

I was Circe's fourth family and took her in just before her 6th birthday. Since then, she's become my family in Colorado. She's the first person (dog) I go to with good or bad news, who I cry to on hard days and run around the park with on good ones. I can't imagine what she's going through, and I want to give her the best care available because it's what she deserves.

I work at the Denver Public Library and live on a modest income. After years of hard work, I was finally able to buy my first home just a month ago, which depleted much of my savings. Now I'm facing unexpected cancer testing and treatment costs I can't manage alone.
