Humphrey is a 10 year old Mix-Breed in Fort Collins, CO, who needs $2,000 for Adrenalectomy Surgery.

Humphrey is my 10-year-old rescue super-mutt and has been by my side since I adopted him at 19. We’ve grown up together—through college, graduate school, and now vet school. He has an unique personality and is adored by his sister Mabel (who has separation anxiety… from him). He’s been my constant through life’s hardest moments, making me a better person, and I just want to be there for him now.

Humphrey was diagnosed with a left adrenal tumor—caught early, with no signs of spread or blood vessel invasion. Surgery to remove it would prolong his life, but it requires a specialized care. CSU’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital can provide that. Insurance will cover $4,500 of the $6,700–$10,000 cost, but I’m responsible for the rest. Acting now gives Humphrey the best chance at a full recovery.

Humphrey has been my constant companion through every chapter of adulthood. His worried face hides a heart full of love. People remember him for his name, his calm presence, and his role as a vet school teaching dog—as long as I’m holding him and no one touches his feet. He’s my anchor, my teammate, and the reason I am becoming a vet. I can’t imagine finishing this journey without him by my side.

As a 4th-year vet student in clinical rotations, I can’t work. Loans cover living expenses, but not emergency surgery. Helping Humphrey now would ease the burden and allow me to finish school focused—carrying this kindness forward to my future patients and their families.
