Hobbes is a 12 year old Bull Terrier in Cypress, TX, who needs $950 for Neck Tumor Removal Surgery.

Hobbes is a rescue we adopted after moving into a new home when my son was six months old and Hobbes was about nine months. He’s incredibly gentle with kids and has grown up alongside my son. He’s known as our “blanket thief,” always stealing blankets during naps, and he helped raise his younger dog sister, looking after her like a big brother.

Hobbes, a Bull Terrier, has had benign lipomas in the past that resolved on their own. However, a recent mass on his neck continued to grow instead of shrinking. At Affordable Pet Clinic in Katy, he was diagnosed with a tumor requiring surgical removal. The recommended treatment includes surgery and pre-operative bloodwork, and with timely care, Hobbes is expected to recover well.

Hobbes is gentle, patient, and has grown up side by side with my son, forming a deep bond with our family. He loves being close and is our “blanket thief,” always stealing blankets during naps. He enjoys tug-of-war, squeaky toys, and rawhide bones, and loves snacks like cheese and bacon. He’s not a fan of fireworks and always comes to us for comfort.

I was injured at work and my finances are tight. I don’t have the savings or credit to cover Hobbes’s surgery and care. This was unexpected, and despite my efforts, there’s still a gap I can’t meet. Getting Hobbes healthy again would mean everything to our family.
