Mary Jane is an 11-year-old Boxer in Ypsilanti, MI, who needs $1200 for critical surgery.

Mary Jane needs surgery, stat! While everyone was locked down during the midst of the pandemic, including many animal hospitals, two small tumors became visible on Mary Jane. Her human dad, Richard H., noticed them but says no pet clinics close to him were performing surgeries at that time because of COVID-19.

As the virus outbreak and quarantine stretched on, Richard struggled to find work like so many people. His income decreased, but at the same time, the size of one of Mary Jane's tumors increased. "It became huge fast," Richard tells Waggle.

Mary Jane's masses then grew into colossal tumors; one hangs down and reaches the ground. Now animal hospitals are back open, and she needs the masses removed immediately at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida. But Richard is having trouble paying for this incredibly critical surgery because of his pandemic-related job loss. He hopes dog lovers who read about Mary Jane's plight will help come to her rescue.

Richard's entire family misses playing with Mary Jane. "It's not right for her to have to live with this," Richard says. "She is amazing with the kids; the tumor is slowing her down," he says.
