Kiera is a 11-year-old Siberian Husky in Houston, TX, who needs $2,000 for Stereotactic Radiation Treatment.

Kiera is a Siberian Husky that came into our lives as a puppy at the beginning of my now-husband and I's 11 year relationship and has been the center of our world. She is our only pet, and enjoys patrolling the backyard and taking naps next to the fence. Although Kiera is her name, we rarely use it and rely on her nicknames of Keeker and Lil Lady. She's a skilled robber and likes to open boxes.

She is our only pet, and her best friend(s) are her grandparents and aunts/uncles. She is very protective and likes to push her butt up on people for butt scratches. She also likes to make sure everyone leaves home with her husky hair as a souvenir on their clothes. She prefers to be where the action is, and likes to be in the same room as whoever is visiting.

Kiera has a best Chihuahua best friend named Bailey and has to be reminded that not every cat that she sees on her walks wants to be her friend. She is an avid speaker, and will make sure her opinion is known when she doesn't want to listen to a "sit and stay" command. She's also a yeller and will make sure the mailman knows that she is watching when they come to the door with her Barkbox.

Kiera was diagnosed with nasal adenocarcinoma in February 2023 and was referred to a specialist. She is going to need a CT scan to plan for radiation and has a good prognosis with aggressive radiation treatment (12-18 months of remission and additional butt scratches). Her oncologist believes she is a good candidate for radiation.

I am a recent grad student graduate and my husband is a small business owner. All of our savings have been poured into the reason for her sneezing and testing to confirm cancer. We have maxed out CareCredit to begin the process of treatment.
