Mia is a 8 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in LOXAHATCHEE, FL, who needs $10,000 for Mass Removal and/or Cancer Treatment.

My family was blessed to have Mia come into our life 8 years ago. We rescued her from a dog fighting ring when she was 11/2 years old. She chose us from the second we came into contact. I am a disabled veteran and she immediately bonded with me as a support anchor. She is a pivotal part of my well-being.

Mia has recently been diagnosed with a mass around her esophagus applying pressure against her trachea causing her to have difficulty breathing and eating. She has started a regiment of antibiotics and steroids in hope the swelling will be decreased. However surgery to have the mass removed is inevitable.

Mia is a very important part of our entire family. She is a loving mother and the perfect companion as a emotional support dog for myself. She shows and expresses unconditional love towards the entire family at all times and is always able to bring joy and comfort to us all.

I am a 100% service connected veteran and have a fixed income. The price I was given just to have a CT scan done is $5300. Pathology is another $1400. Mia is as important to me as if she is one of my children and is a absolute necessity towards my stability with my battles.
