LaMya is a 11-year-old Lab/German shepherd in Frankfort, KY, who needs $550 for Tail Tumor Removal .

Ms LaMya was found out roaming the area around a nasty pond back in May of 2010. My fiancé found her and rescued her and took her in and began to spoil her. I met my fiancé back in October 2018, and that’s when LaMya came into my life. I’m a big pet lover and LaMya stole my heart from the moment she met me! We brought another rescue pup into our home in March of this year, her name is Meeka.

LaMya loves to sleep in the floor right next to my side of the bed. She will not sleep on her big bed I got her, she wants to lay right next to her Mama. She loves to steal treats when I pull them out of the box before I can even get her to sit to give it to her. I don’t have any human children so LaMya has become my one and only child!

I have severe asthma so due to this COVID, I was told by my doctor that I can’t be working around everyone. I have applied for unemployment but I’m still fighting to get my backpay and on going money. If Lamya could get her surgery Id be bless That she would be out of pain.

Lamya has had this hard bubble close to the end of her tail for a few years now and here in the last 6 months, it’s gotten big! Old vet said it was just a cyst and it would be fine. It would bust and drain and fill back up. We took her to a new vet near our house and the doctor said it was actually a tumor. Dr King at Frankfort vet clinic said 3” of tail needs cut off to keep it from coming back.

Lamya is special because she is so much like me, I eat ranch on everything and Lamya now loves ranch and has to have some every time that I eat it. Lamya makes me feel special because I’m a heavy set person and Lamya has a few extra pounds on her like me so I feel like I have someone else and I’m not alone on being heavy! Her nickname is Fat Dog Cow Pig!
