King is a 7 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Las Vegas, NV, who needs $1,881 for Spleenectomy.

Russell and his dog King were living on the streets of Las Vegas up until July of last year. During that difficult time, they faced many challenges, including a lack of stable shelter, food, and access to veterinary care for King.
With the support of generous individuals and a local social service organization, Russell and King were able to transition into stable housing.

King began showing concerning symptoms, including lethargy, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Russell quickly realized something was wrong and sought help for him.King was taken to Hearts Alive Village Animal Clinic in Las Vegas, where he was examined by the veterinary team. After performing diagnostic tests, the veterinarians discovered a mass on King’s spleen that needed to be removed.

At home, King is affectionate and calm. He loves spending time with Russell, whether they’re going for walks, relaxing together, or simply enjoying each other's company. For Russell, King is not just a pet—he is family, a best friend, and a source of strength.

Russell is currently facing financial hardship and is doing his best to care for himself and King. He has limited vision, with blindness in one eye, which makes it extremely difficult for him to find steady employment and earn a reliable income.
