Moses is an eight-year-old Maltipoo dog in Dallas, TX, who needs $2,000 for cancer surgery.

Moses the Maltipoo needs your help to get the leg surgery he urgently needs.

When Pooch Savers rescue saved Moses, he had an ugly, red, evil-looking ulcerated growth on his paw. "It was incredibly painful. He limped all the time," Scott B., from the rescue, tells Waggle.

The group rushed Moses over to Mazie's Mission veterinary clinic, and after many tests, biopsies, X-rays, and an ultrasound, they received optimistic and bad news. The bad news: Moses had round cell cancer. It spread from his paw to lymph nodes in his leg. The optimistic news: The cancer appeared to be isolated to his limb.

"It was devastating to know, even though we thought it was cancer, to have it confirmed," Scott says.

The rescue group's veterinarian consulted with experts, and the best plan was surgery to amputate the dog's leg. "Moses was in so much pain, and knowing we could do the surgery, he could survive the cancer, and we can give him another chance--- we were just over the moon to hear that," Scott adds.

Moses is expected to make a full recovery and will be up for adoption when he is healed up.

Pooch Savers depends on donations to help save dogs like Moses and all the other pooches they take in. They can only do this with help from amazing animal lovers. "Dogs in need of medical treatment can be saved, and there's a loving home waiting for them. Donations help offset those costs and allow us to keep doing what we do," Scott says. "And Moses is an incredible dog."
