About this campaign

Mozart was rescued from euthanasia at 5 months old on 3/3/09 when I worked at vet clinic. He had a prolapsed rectum about 8-12inches! Once he was old enough, Mo became a therapy reading dog and passed his AKC k9 good citizen test. Later, he answered the call to become my service dog, helping me go out in public again. Mozart lives with 2 cats and a toddler(16m) and enjoys being a nanny dog.

Mozart LOVES when we foster kittens and taking care of babies of any species. Mo also enjoys watching TV and barking at all the animals. When he isn't following me room to room, Mozart tries to become one with the couch. When heading out, Mo will bulldoze his way to the car. He really does help take care of me no matter where we find ourselves.

I have have put $1400 in diagnosis and running tests to get ready for surgery. Just out of additional funds at this point. Having his kidney removed would extend his life, but more importantly, improve his quality of life exponentially.

Mo has been diagnosed with kidney cancer and needs to remove his cancerous kidney. We've gone through all the hoops of diagnostics to make sure he is in the best health possible. Now just surgery. The cancer hasn't spread, his BW looks great, but he is constantly urinating blood from the bad kidney.

Mozart is a stand out and a model of excellence to all Staffies and "pitbulls". A smart calming, caring soul. You can also play a game with Mo where you try to kiss his nose before he kisses you(like in the baby video). He is very good at this, giving kisses. When hanging out the car window, he likes to wear his Doggles and demands you load his butt in the car for him.
