Niecie is a 9-year-old Retrever/Pit mix in Modesto, CA, who needs $1,140 for Tumor Removal.

Niecie is the niece of my dog ami. She was so cute, I just couldn't say no when she was born. Ami needed someone to play with, & Niecie was perfect. Kept Ami on her toes, lol. Nieces middle name is "No" because she got into everything. I was constantly telling her, "Niece No!", so that became her full name.

Niecie loves to crawl under the covers in my bed, & she is an excellent cuddle bug. Niecie loves my grandkids,& is learning to tolerate cats. All my dogs had been an inside dogs for most of their lives, & lived well together. 3 years ago, we moved into a very tiny house, & they had to stay outside until I got situated. Shortly after, she was almost killed by her sister due to fireworks.

Due to Covid, I am not working, so I need help to have her surgery. It will cost $1140.38. Without the surgery, she will suffer. I don't want to have her put down. That would kill me. I've had her her whole life, I'm not ready to lose her now. I need help. Thanks in advance.

Niecie developed a small bump on her side about 2 yrs ago. It never bothered her. In the last 2 months it has trippled in size, & is a solid knot. It now has no hair on it & it bothers her a lot. I took her to crows landing vet, & they said it has to be removed. I could barely afford the vet visit as is, then I saw the estimate. I was devastated because I can't come up with that kind of money.

Since her recovery, I keep all my dogs separate. I rotate them so they all get individual time inside with me at night. Niecie is the perfect travel companion. She sits up straight & watches everything. She is so sweet with the kids, & they love her to death. She loves her Scooby-Doo snacks & a good bone. She is really a great companion
