Max is a 13-year-old Pitbull in Staten Island, NY, who needs $2,000 for Ultrasound and Spleenectomy.

Hi. My significant other and I have had Max his whole life. He is a loyal, affectionate, wonderful boy. We love him more than anything. We have no children. He IS the only child. Last week he was getting lethargic and swollen. I uploaded the bloodwork and x-rays. He has a large mass and bleeding spleen. He needs an emergency spleenectomy. Please help us.

My boyfriend and I are his world, and he us ours. That's the only way I can really sum it up. He runs up to everyone giving kisses and hugs. He loves us so much.

He sleeps with us, follows us everywhere, and is always there for us. He can be a real spoiled brat at times and refuse dog food yet eat cold cuts but we love him. He also only eats when spoon fed.

X-rays and bloodwork uploaded. He needs this mass removed urgently. He goes for ultrasound to ensure the best procedure but likely a spleenectomy as it's bleeding. It's this or euthanasia but we are trying to save him. Money is our only issue. I listed 2500 as that's average price. It'll likely be more but we will take any help possible.

I just had major life saving spine surgery at 38 years old. I just got back to work. My boyfriend lives check to check. The pressure comes from needing it asap.
