Mitzy is a 4-year-old Hound Mix Dog in Jacksonville , FL, who needs $1,500 for Mast Cell Tumor Removal and Chemotherapy.

My wife and I adopted Mitzy (Betty Boop) at Petsmart in Gainesville Florida. She had just recovered from a gunshot wound to her face. She sustained multiple skull fractures, brain infection and a plate was inserted in her jaw. The University of Florida Veterinary Hospital saved her life. Two years ago she had A MRSA infection from the plate. Now she has a mast cell tumor. She is a loving dog

She has come along way since we adopted her. Initially she was apprehensive and did not want anyone near her face. Now she wants to love and be with us all the time. She sleeps next to us every night and can’t wait for the next day. I have never seen a dog as polite and as well behaved as her. She’s so quiet you don’t even know she’s there’s

Mitzy loves dogs and people. She is very gentle and has the mildest temperament ever. She does not play with toys but enjoys chewing on her paws. Loves going in a car whether it’s moving or not. She loves getting in a chair that we just get up from. Her newest thing is putting her ear in her water bowl

As I said she has had some trauma in her life. Channel 4cbs did a story on her titled “Puppy Love Dog Beating the Odds
