Hendrix is a 8-year-old Deerhound x Whippet in CHICO, CA, who needs $2,000 for Limb Amputation Surgery.

Hendrix came into our lives in 2015. We got married and wanted to get a dog right away. The dog we chose was also going to be Brad's first dog ever! I found Hendrix on a farm in Somerset, England and knew he was the one.

Hendrix is a Lurcher, crossbreed of a Whippet and Scottish Deerhound. He lives for being outside and off leash. He loves to run and play, smell everything and stop to leave his scent every 2 steps. He is a very playful at dog parks and he can be so cuddly when he decides he wants a cuddle. He is the kind of dog you can take anywhere as he loves most things. He loves splashing in creeks or lakes.

Hendrix is such a character. He looks like a Dr Seuss character and has a matching personality. He is very vocal so he keeps the house full of noise. He barks at the lawn mower, he crawls under the bed and barks, he barks right in our face, constantly when he wants a walk. He stares deep into our eyes and whines when he wants attention and a cuddle. Every time I look at this goofy dog, I smile.

Hendrix was recently diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer, in his back right leg. Further tests have shown the cancer is so far, isolated to just his hind leg, which is honestly a miracle! He will need to have the leg amputated because this type of cancer is very painful and surgery will take most of the pain away. Surgery could potentially extend his life.

We have been fortunate so far but we recently moved closer to my family and in doing so, doubled our mortgage and increased most of our bills. We have been able to get by so far but paying for this procedure will not be possible without any financial assistance.
