Jacks is a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix in Snohomish, WA, who needs $2,000 for urgent surgery.

Jackie C. and her family are struggling this holiday season and could use some assistance.

All they want is for their dog, Jacks, to get surgery to remove a benign tumor from his face.

"The tumor is over 6 centimeters," Jackie tells Waggle. "The tumor hangs and is extremely painful and irritating. It is bleeding a lot. Jacks can't stop shaking his head and trying to remove it."

But Jackie can't afford the life-changing operation.

"I have been without a job for over a year," she says. "My seventeen-year-old daughter and I have had some unfortunate events, which have made it very hard to get back on our feet. I only have $629 a month."

Please help Jacks get the care he needs.

"Jacks is a lovable, goofy, ball-catching, loyal protector and a staple of my daughter and my life," Jackie adds. "We have had Jack's from the day he was born. We watched him take his first breath, and he has been by our side every day. He is our family."
