Lucy is a 14 year old Cairn Terrier in Davenport, FL, who needs $1,880 for Dental Grade 3 and Mass Removal.

I rescued Lucy in August of 2011 after she had been through a tornado in Rome, GA in April of that year. I took her to my vet after the adoption and he indicated she was approximately 9 months old and in great health. So began my relationship and journey with my furry friend I named Lucy. She was furry, mischievous, fun-loving and cuddly.

As she grew up, I always noticed a flap of skin under her tongue. It never bothered her; she ate and drank fine. We relocated to Florida in 2016 and in early May 2025 she began bleeding from her mouth. Upon further observation from her vet the flap of skin had grown into a very large mass with bleeding. Surgical removal from Metro West Veterinary Clinic in Orlando, FL is needed.

Lucy is my ESA, emotional support animal. She has been with me through thick and thin, always calming my bouts of anxiety and panic attacks. I just don’t know how I’ll handle losing her. She’s my everything! She is also very attached to my 2 grown adult daughters and they have the added peace of knowing mom is okay when Lucy is with me.

I am in the mortgage industry and experienced 3 layoffs over the past 3 years, one being for 24 months. I ended up losing everything. I’ve depleted my savings/retirement but, I just started a new job on May 12th., 2025. Trying to get back on my feet, when it rains it pours!
