Maeve is a 8 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Interlochen, MI, who needs $2,050 for Tumor Removal.

Maeve was adopted from the Pinellas County Humane Society in Florida at the age of 5 months. Now 8 years old, she lives in Michigan, making friends with people who haven't realized yet that she's their best friend. Maeve loves people, loves everything else, and just wants to spend time with you, regardless of who you are.

Maeve is a pit bull, and pit bulls are prone to malignant mast cell tumors. She had one as a puppy, and she has now developed another. The vet, Dr. John at Northwood Animal Hospital in Interlochen, has examined her and recommended a surgery. While the risk is minimal now, if the tumor is allowed to grow it will become life-threatening.

Maeve loves people. I lucked out when I adopted her; she is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever known. When I took her to Northwood yesterday, she spent the entire visit trying to follow the staff around and love on them. At the vet. After they had poked her.

For me, she has become an emotional support and soul dog. She is my de facto immediate family and helps me with emotional healt every day.

While I make a solid income, I have a large, immutable student loan debt that consumes almost all my discrecionary income. Like many people these days, I live paycheck to paycheck.
