Max is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Hastings, MI, who needs $2,000 for Oral Surgery (tumor, teeth, & jaw bone removal).

6 years ago my husband left to get a radiator for one of our vehicles and came home with this beautiful boy instead. This boy captived the hearts of us all in the first meeting. Our youngest daughter is HIS human and much as he is HER baby. He knew I was pregnant before I did, he didn't leave my side my entire pregnancy, as my daughter just celebrated her 5th birthday, their bond is unbreakable.

Our boy has an aggressive form of cancer growing out of his mouth. It is growing quickly. He needs a specialist because of how aggressive the tumor is. We are looking at a very large bill, and the bigger the tumor gets, the bigger the bill will likely get. He has another on his leg, but his body films were clear so once this tumor get removed we are hoping for full recover 🙏

Max is my daughters safe haven. Wherever she is he is and it's been that way since day one. They wake together, go to sleep together, play together, and even share meals. He is a howler. Each time we get home, we get "I love you" howls for the first 15 minutes. He trots and cannot wag his tail normally, he has a helicopter tail that spins, not wags! He is an 80 lb snuggler, and loves to spoon!

This was an unexpected expense that we were not planning for. We had scheduled surgery for Max at his regular vet, but in the two weeks between consult appointment and surgery day the tumor had grown so much that we were sent home with specialist recommendations instead.
