Morty is a 5-year-old German Shepherd in Tucson , AZ, who needs $1,450 for Mass Removal.

My husband and I purchased Morty when he was 7.5 weeks old. We found out we were pregnant shortly after. My daughter is quite attached to Morty. He is a very important member of our family. He is kind and gentle. He loves all. Cares for my daughter. We just can not imagine our life without him in it.

Morty likes to sleep in our door ways at night time. He loves his kennel. We have made it his safe space with a blanket and his favorite toy. He absolutely hates car rides. He loves cuddling in bed with us and chasing the cat. He runs down the hallway with my daughter and barks at everything that passes by our door.

Morty isn't really afraid of anything. He barks at things that pass by our doors. He wants to play with every dog that passes by him. His best friend is a 3 legged dog named Dixie who he absolutely adores. His head tilt when you talk to him makes everyone laugh. His groomers fight over who will give him a bath cause he gives kisses while they rinse him.

Morty has a quarter sized growth on his front paw. The growth needs to be removed and tested to make sure that it isn't more serious than a growth. The growth hasn't attached itself to any muscle yet and the vet is optimistic that she can save his paw. But the sooner we get this growth removed the better.

We just moved across country to help with the care of my aging grandparents. We also just started new jobs and haven't rebuilt our emergency fund. We are trying everything we can for Morty
