MICHAEL JACOB is a 11-year-old LAB X in Prescott Valley, AZ, who needs $2,000 for Mass Removal, Dental Work, and CBC..

I found Michael Jacob (Mikie) about 6 months after my Jacob Harley died. Jacob was only 3 years old and I was heartbroken. I happened to go to my vet's office and found a posting for free male Black Labs! I called immediately and went to meet Mikie. The lady who had Mikie had adopted his pregnant Mom. So Mikie was my Mother's Day present.

Mikie has an adopted sister, Breezy Belle and they are besties. Mikie also has Spitzfire Bob, our cat and our bird, Kracker. Mike is very big and sweet and is loved by my son and granddaughters who live close by. Mikie loves all of us and is protective of his family. Mikie has been my husband's and mine since he was a baby. A sweeter boy can't be found.

Mikie has the sweetest smile. If we ask him to smile he does just that. He's not too found of other dogs but he loves his Breezy Belle. He's a Lab so he loves to eat. He's had knee surgery which he recovered from nicely. He still runs around though he thinks he's younger than he is and we have to watch him as the other knee is weak too.

Mikie has a growth on his eye. The same eye had a growth removed a few years ago. I had an estimate last year and just didn't have the funds. His eye is getting worse. Our veterinarian found another growth on his forearm and that Mikie needs dental care too. I have to take care of Mikie. This time medical care is the only option now.

We are retired. We are on a fixed income; I know who isn't. But Mikie is 11years old and deserves to have a healthy rest of his life. After taxes we have $5000 per month. Our house payment is $2236. So we need help for Mikie.
