Monty is a 8-year-old Doberman Mix in Pittsburgh, PA, who needs $2,000 for Medications.

Monty picked me when his parents had an accidental litter, and their owners were going to take him and his siblings to the shelter. We took the whole litter and found homes for the ones we didn't keep. He has 2 cat siblings and lives next to his brother and sister from his litter. Monty is half Doberman, and the other half is Lab/Saint Bernard.

Monty loves all cats. He loves to chase after balls but doesn't return them. Monty loves to sleep and sunbathe. Monty doesn't like potatoes of any kind.

Monty is a very obedient and loving dog. One of his human friends has referred to him as romantic because he will longingly look into your eyes before he gives you kisses. Monty communicates his needs very clearly. He is goes with the flow and will sleep all day if you want to sleep all day but is also willing to go on a hike if that's what you wanted to do.

Monty started to get lumps on his body and was supposed to have surgery to remove them. When I took him in for the surgery, they found that his liver functioning was off and found a tumor on his spleen. VCA Animal Hospital removed his spleen over the summer but now he needs 3 medications a day and medicated food to address his liver issues.

I am a single person who is struggling to come up with the amount of money it costs to keep up with his daily medications. I am just trying to do whatever it takes to get Monty healthy again and to hopefully no longer need medications.
