About this campaign
Max is a bubbly, extremely energetic, loving, toy focused little guy. I have terribly severe OCD and he has helped me more than I could have ever even dreamed of being helped by a dog. My dad and I rescued him and his brother (pictured) from a rescue that was outside in Ocala FL, there were probably over 100 dogs, different breeds separated into different large cages, no food bowls or water bowls.
Max was diagnosed with lymphoma today October 7th. I was told he has 2 to 3 weeks to live with no chemotherapy. Idk what I would do w/out him, he's only 3yo, he turns 4 at the end of this month. The vet said he's the youngest dog to have been diagnosed with cancer since she's been a vet. He has so much life left to live & with chemo he would be able to go into remission & live a long healthy life!
I have had terrible severe OCD since I was young and it got so bad I wouldn't let anyone in my house no matter what. Max has played a HUGE part in helping my mental health and actually living a more normal/manageable life. He's perfect and so funny! His brother would also be absolutely devastated without his brother, they've never left each other.
I am currently going back to school to be a paralegal at the University of Southern Florida, so I have student loans, a house payment I can barely afford, and other expenses that I am trying to keep up with, while working at a hotel.

Max just got his T cell or B cell test for lymphoma to see what type it is and what cancer to treat for. We are just waiting for the results.
