About this campaign

Meet Lucy Lou — an eight-year-old Husky mix from Minnesota with a heart full of love and a tumor that needs to be removed.

Lucy Lou has been diagnosed with a mast cell tumor near her ear. These tumors can be cancerous and aggressive, and her veterinarian has strongly recommended surgery to remove the mass before it has the chance to spread internally. The good news? Her vet is optimistic. With surgery, Lucy Lou is expected to make a strong recovery and continue living the vibrant, adventurous life she loves.

The challenge is the cost.

Lucy Lou’s surgery is estimated at $1,631.45. Her family has already stretched themselves thin trying to make this happen, but they still need $1,300 to move forward. That’s where Paws 4 A Cure and compassionate supporters like you come in.

Lucy Lou wasn’t always Lucy Lou. When her family met her at an adoption event, she was a shy seven-month-old puppy named Mercury — the last of her litter still waiting for a home. The moment her kennel door opened, she reached up and wrapped her paws around her soon-to-be dad’s shoulders as if giving him a hug. In that instant, they knew she was theirs.

Since that day, Lucy Lou has been their springy, smart, adventure-loving companion — never wanting to be left behind, always ready to love unconditionally. Her family made a promise when they adopted her: to give her the best life possible. Now they’re fighting to keep that promise.

After discovering the lump about a year ago, life circumstances — including a move and overwhelming cost estimates — delayed surgery. But the mass has not gone away, and waiting any longer isn’t an option. Her family has secured a surgical plan and is ready to proceed. They simply need help crossing the financial finish line.

Your tax-deductible donation — no matter the size — brings Lucy Lou one step closer to surgery and a cancer-free future. If you’re unable to give, sharing her fundraising page can make all the difference.

Lucy Lou has given her family unconditional love every single day. Now it’s our turn to show her the same.

Please help us give Lucy Lou the healthy, happy life she deserves.
