Joseph is a 8-year-old Mixed Dog in Oswego, NY, who needs $1,299 for Neuter and tumor removal.

We brought Joseph home 7 years ago. Joseph was a rescue from a unfit home. The woman that I got him from used to leave him outside with a open up a bag of dog food . if he wasn't tied up the woman said he would run the neighborhood and the neighbor was threatening to kill him if he came on their property. He was hit with objects and chased by one adult who lived with the woman.

After we brought him home he was shy and afraid of First it took a little bit to get him used to being loved. when he got comfortable enough with us he would come up on the couch and snuggle and he would allow us to pet him and give hugs. He loves to play with his Kong . It is his favorite toy and in the winter weather he loves the snow, catching snowballs laying it the snow and digging in it.

Joseph dose love to be vocal when he is getting attention. Is everything as to sit there and have your rubbish chest and while you're rubbing his chest till talk to you. He runs around in the water when the hoses on. When it's nice weather we take him to the field and he runs around playing catch and playing with the frisbee. He always makes me laugh when he talks to me as Im Hugging & kissing him

I took Joseph to our local vet North Country Veterinary Services and Dr. Oliver said that he has a enlarged prostate that is causes him to get a prostate infection that causes blood in his urine and pain. The only option to completely make him healthy again is to do surgery. Without surgery all that can be done is treat with antibiotics till they don't help anymore. He is healthy otherwis

I just want to get Joseph healthy again so he's not in pain between the prostate and his arthritis. Like my daughters I would do anything for my babie. I am sad and feel helpless when he looks at me with sad eyes like please help me. Please help me help my boy. Fixed income
