Little Red is a 8.5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog in Porterville, CA, who needs $630 for mass removal & biopsy with pre-op chemistry.

We've had Little Red since she was just a small puppy and she has been by our side ever since. She's our only dog who we've had the pleasure of being family with for almost 9 years now. She's been there through our marriage, the birth of our son, and we're hoping to share many many more memories with her in later years too. She's the smartest girl we know, and she is our family's protector.

We love Little Red so much, she hasn't slept outside a day in her life; she is always next to our bed when we sleep. When it's daytime she loves to play catch in the big yard we have for her, and also enjoys sunbathing and swimming when the weather is nice. Little Red is also so smart, sometimes too smart, haha. We trained her from a young age and she knows so many commands I can't even count.

We are on an extremely fixed income and have used what we have to provide for our child and had some health expenses that could not go ignored. We would do anything to have Little Red with us forever and we truly believe a miracle will happen and she will get help.

There were a couple bumps on Little Red's left shoulder blade and arm. Two months later, the bumps are bigger and one looks very weird. She's 9 years old and we believe a biopsy and blood work is needed. Today, I noticed she also has a bump on her left leg, similar to the one on her right. The vet's name is Dr. DRUMMOND @ Pacific Crest Equine Vet. If the bumps are benign, then no more is needed.

Little Red has always been a fan of playing fetch. That is probably her favorite thing to do in the world and she could catch a pine cone or ball for an hour straight if we let her. She has so much energy, sometimes she loves to just chase the water from the hose around and bite at it. She is the funniest sometimes. Our son likes playing with her in the water too; they have so much fun together.
