About this campaign
Mookie is a Mastiff/St Bernard mix I adopted in February 2020. Found wandering, held at a Sheriff's Office where no one claimed him, & landing at Safe Haven, Mary at SH said Mookie needed people; they estimated he was about 2. Mookie made himself comfortable right away at home, & seemed so joyful to be there. He is a big loveable goof who loves his humans- I can’t imagine my life without him.
Mookie has a skin tag on the back of his front leg — vets checked it over the years & weren't concerned, as it didn't seem to bother. That's changed: it's grown, become inflamed, and now hangs down, rubs his leg, scabbed and bleeding. Vet has recommended pre-op bloodwork, anesthesia, and a Level 3 mass removal + aftercare. He'll need a sleeve & both boys need 6 mo of Simparica.
Mookie found me at exactly the moment I needed him, & vice versa. Brother Benny followed because I wanted Mookie to have a friend — I didn't expect how much the two of them would end up carrying me through becoming an empty nester. We walk daily and this growth is making Mook's walks uncomfortable, if he even wants to go. I want him to be able to enjoy the walks he's always loved so much again
I'm currently at 65% of normal income after a medical issue. In March, we moved to cut costs, which hasn't worked out. Move itself was awful, & new house has major issues we are working to address. Our former vet moved, and Vetco examined Mook & gave estimate to treat him
