Indie is a 9 year old Mix-Breed in Washington, DC, who needs $2,000 for Tumor Removal and Cancer Therapy.

I adopted Indie from a rescue when he was about 1.5 years old - he was considered too anxious to be adopted but we just clicked. Since then, we've become inseparable - he even came with me when I moved overseas for work right before the pandemic. Little did we know that we would've spent that time (2 years) under lockdown - away from family and friends, and with just each other for company.

He had a large malignant sarcoma emerge last year and we had it removed at Small Door Vet 14th St in Washington, D.C.. However, it's come back and we're hoping that we can remove it again through surgery and maybe some radiation and chemo.

He is a prancer! He has such a distinct walk that people recognize him in the neighborhood as the dog that prances and trots. He also has a cute habit of crossing his paws - such a gentleman! Although he isn't a fan of most people - sometimes he's like a cat -- he is a snuggle bug once he warms up to someone.

I took a pay cut from the private sector to join the Federal government a couple years ago and my income was reduced further when my job in the government changed. Our emergency fund was depleted for his treatment last year and my own medical issues.
