Larry is a 9-year-old Basset Hound in Petersham, MA, who needs $2,000 for surgery.

It was love at first site when we saw Moe & Larry, online. Suncoast Basset Rescue while in Florida seasonal visit. Recovering a pet loss 7 years ago. Larry is such a joy to all. We are seniors, home in Rural MA. Larry performs upon meeting a new person. If he can make eye contact, he will roll-over and smile(pic). Larry knows just how to make people laugh. He is 9 now and still acts like a puppy.

Larry is with Moe for a reason. We were told brothers, but not real brothers. Larry has separation anxiety and will just howl if in a crate alone. With Moe he would calm down. Early on, realized it would be hard to leave Larry and no crates. Otherwise he is happy go lucky around the house and when anyone visits. Loves the couch, stealing seats, walking, driving and food. Never alone with Larry.

As seniors, fixed income, extra expenses needs planning. Testing costly. Surgery need a loan. We could ?borrow against our house last resort. But paying back will be hard. We cannot look Larry in the eye and not help him. 2/14 Surgery. Financial/Larry, High Anxiety

Mid Jan.,2021. Larry started to lick his butt. Upon a closer observation, I noticed a large firm lump. Alarming. Did not hurt him to touch. Local Vet referred to specialist. Large & delicate surgery need. Got apt., Veterinary Emergency Specialty Hospital. Oncologist, did , X-rays, labs, Ultrasound, biopsy. 1/27 Dr MaloneyHuss called us. Larry has peri anal sac adenocarcinoma. Such a shock!!!

Larry is just so special in everyway. Doesn't have a preferred person. Loves every household member, 2 humans.What he does not like is noise. Thunder, fireworks, even dropping something, will cause him to jump up and leave area. With thunder keep me close. He has a thunder shirt which helps alot. Leave out the calming oils that are supposed to help. He will roll them off. Everyone loves Larry!!
