Mebrek is a 13-year-old Husky in Sacramento, CA, who needs $1,800 for Surgery.

I have had Mebrek for 13 years, since he was a puppy. He currently lives with me, living his best life as an old man. He has traveled with me across the country and my son is his best friend, the two of them have grown up together and share a special bond. Mebrek is always by my side, he is very attached to me and I am too him.

Mebrek loves to sit in front of doorways, blocking the way so that people have to walk over him. Even to this day in his old age with his health problems, he lives for escaping from any enclosure and takes off running the moment he is free. He always comes back home though. He is stubborn and incredibly wise. Sensitive and loving.

Mebrek has always been such a loving, gentle, and faithful friend and companion. He has brought so much joy to me and my family and friends over the years. Always happy to see familiar faces and make new friends when we are out-and-about for a walk, or having fun at the local dog park. He draws a crowd everywhere we go, and at home he is always by my side.

A few months ago he developed visibly, protruding lumps from and around his anal area. The tumors are now larger and causing him great discomfort. They have begun to break open and smell bad. The vet said he needs surgery to remove the tumors. They will then be biopsied. VCA Basin Veterinary Clinic will provide treatment.

I am a single dad experiencing partial unemployment due to COVID. When the option was provided to me to euthanize my best friend because I couldn't afford treatment, I was devastated. I believe Mebrek still has a few good years in him and deserves to live in comfort .
