Jackson is a 10 year old Beagle in Abingdon, MD, who needs $2,000 for Chemotherapy.

Jackson came to us as an owner surrender when he was a year old. He had been living in an apartment and needed not just more space, but space where he could sniff, howl, and bark like a hound should. We welcomed his sweet disposition, soulful eyes, and emotional empathy with open arms. He quickly settled in to our pack and his other hound siblings and him we're inseparable.

2 years ago his protein levels were high. We started doing all the tests to figure out why. Nothing was showing up. We started medication to try and protect his organs and continued to monitor his levels with recurring lab work. In Oct 2024 we noticed blood in his urine. During treatment for this a regular exam showed an enlarged prostate. 2 months later we received the offical diagnosis. Cancer.

He is an emotional support for our entire family. Our sons, our other dogs, and us. He is so attentive and instinctively knows when you just need him to lay with you, to kiss you, or to try cheering you up by offering his favorite toy. He's most in his element when we're camping. He greets other campers, relaxes by the fire, or possibly stealing the hotdogs the neighbors kids are using for bait.

The end of 2024 hit hard with unexpected expenses; new roof, 2 new appliances, and the cost of a Pet ER visit and the diagnostic process. Our savings was depleted. We know this isn't curable but we'd like him to be with us as long as he can do so comfortably.
