Max is a 14-year-old Beagle in Austin, TX, who needs $1,000 for Mass Removal.

Max is a 14 year old beagle who loves walks and hanging out with his family. He loves to sit on his humans laps and spend time with them everyday. He lives in a house with a backyard to sniff in and let’s us know if he sees any threats such as lizards and squirrels. He has lived with our family (Debbie, Steve, and Ashley) since we adopted him as a puppy in 2009.

He loves to go on walks and meet new people. In our family he is always with us and tend o follow us around the house. At night he loves quilts time and tends to sit in our laps as we watch movies or chat. He is always excited when one of us arrives home and loves to make us feel welcomed. He always has a wagging tail.

After we give Max his occasional baths, he’ll get out of the tub and allow us to dry him off with towels. As soon as we are done he runs all around the house like a race horse. He rubs his whole body on whatever he can find. Then does laps around the kitchen and shakes water off if himself and getting us wet. Then he will try to go outside and rub dirt on himself.

Max has had a large lump on the side of his body for the past few years. When we first checked out the lump the vet said that it was a cyst and that it wasn’t anything threatening. However it has grown overtime becoming larger and larger and just in the past few days fluid has started coming out of it. The vet has given him medicine temporarily however the mess will need to be removed very soon.

The cost of living has increased. We are having to pay more on our house than ever before. The cost for the surgery is $2000 and we are struggling to come up with the funds to pay for all of it.
