Kodi Bear is a 8-year-old German Shepherd in Mocanaqua , PA, who needs $2,000 for Tumor Removal and Radiation Therapy.

Kodi Bear came to live with us in June of 2015. We drove from Pennsylvania to Kentucky to pick him up after we found him on the internet. He was such a sweet little puppy and we fell in love with him the minute we saw him. Kodi Bear is our one and only fur baby. He is very spoiled and basically gets whatever he wants.

Kodi Bear lives with his family and sleeps wherever he wants to. He has a bed downstairs as well as upstairs. He even has a bed on the deck. Kodi Bear also has so many toys and they are in every room of the house. He loves to go for walks. He is always there to greet us when we come home and is very boisterous when we try to leave the house.

Kodi Bear loves his treats and loves his ice cream. When it is ice cream day, he knows it. I do not get any rest until I go out to Sprinkles and pick up the ice cream for him. When he wants his treats, he will walk over to you and place his paw on your hand or your foot. This signals that he wants something.Kodi Bear also loves to take one of his toys for a walk with him whenever he goes.

Kodi Bear was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma after what the vet thought was a fatty tumor was removed. Biopsy showed hemango sarcoma. He immediately underwent chemotherapy and then had the tumor removed. The tumor was removed in entirety but he now needs radiation to make sure that the cancer is totally eradicated. The radiation is the best chance that the cancer will not return.

Kodi Bear is our life and we are his. The amount of his treatment so far is approximately $19,000. The cost of radiation will be anywhere between $5,000 and $13,000. We did not have the money to pay the vet bills outright so we have been placing it on credit cards.
