Jivin Survived a Devastating Infection. Now He’s Fighting Cancer

When Jivin was rescued, he had a terrible infected wound that had broken through the bridge of his nose, leaving a painful hole through his face. What his rescuers discovered next made his situation even more serious: Jivin had canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT), a contagious form of canine cancer, with tumors affecting his mouth and nasal cavity.

Before he could begin fighting the cancer, Jivin first had to overcome the severe infection and become strong enough to withstand treatment.

And somehow, this brave boy did exactly that.

After weeks of care, Jivin’s infection is now under control. The wound and opening in his nose are healing, healthy new tissue is growing, and his blood work has come back good. For the first time since his rescue, Jivin is finally strong enough to begin the treatment he needs to fight his cancer.

Jivin is starting chemotherapy.

His first treatment is a huge milestone, but his fight is far from over. He will need multiple rounds of chemotherapy, and each treatment comes with additional expenses for blood work, medications, monitoring, and supportive veterinary care.

Your donation will help Soltis’ Hope Street Animal Rescue cover the cost of Jivin’s chemotherapy, the treatment he received for the severe infection and wound, and the veterinary care he needs throughout his recovery for CTVT.

Jivin has already fought his way through a devastating infection and begun healing from the damage it caused. Now he has the chance to fight the cancer that brought him to this point.

He has made it this far. Now we need to help him finish the fight.

Please consider donating to Jivin’s care and helping give this incredibly resilient boy the chance to beat cancer and finally know a life without pain and illness. If you can’t donate, sharing his story can help us reach someone who can.

Jivin’s fight starts now, and we’ll be beside him every step of the way. ❤️‍🩹
