Merle is a 9 year old Redbone Coonhound in Osawatomie, KS, who needs $2,500 for Vinblastine.

Merle wandered into our life from a puppy mill at an estimated 4 weeks old. He is our gentle giant that loves snacks, food, sneaking food off someone’s plate, sneaking food out of the refrigerator and sneaking into the trash to of course, get food. He also enjoys long walks and playtime and cuddles on the couch! Although he takes up most of the room on the sofa he takes up more room in our hearts.

Early October last year Merle was diagnosed with a grade two Mast Cell Tumor. He has undergone two operations and many Chemotherapy appointments. The doctors believe he can be treated still and enjoy his home with his family for the rest of his days. The Overland Park Emergency Vet and Specialty Hospital has been nothing short of amazing for Merle , they are now family.

Merle holds a dear place in all of our hearts and he holds us even closer. He may even love us more than he loves dinner. Merle loves playing with kids and sleeping in bed with whoever will allow.

These treatments, are a sudden expense. We have dealt with loss of income and a few other financial set backs but are determined to do right by Merle. Any support would help.
