Nug is a 10 year old Boxer in Denver, CO, who needs $2,000 for Tumor Removal Surgery.

Nug came into my life when I was 15 years old when I found a post on Facebook for a free dog. I wanted a dog so badly and reached out immediately to pick him up. I had no idea he would become my bestfriend and the most amazing companion. Immediately I knew his name was Nug. He was so small and to me, a little chicken nugget. His name is perfect as is he and he is honestly the one who found me.

At the beginning of the month Nug experienced a stroke that was determined to be vestibular disease. He recovered well for a few weeks before having another episode. He’s had numerous tests done that finally showed a tumor in the abdomen. He went from running and playing to no longer able to walk. His next step is to have the tumor removed that is pressing against his organs.

I have never met a dog like Nug. I know I may be bias but he is truly one of a kind and anyone will tell you how special he is to know. His personality is huge and warming. He is full of love and joy and adventure. His favorite activities are hiking, catching bubbles or flies, spinning in circles for cookies or playing with his best friend. His expressiveness is to die for as he lights up any room

I am in desperate need as I am a student and have currently exhausted all of my funds for my baby. I have spent over $5000 trying to figure out what is wrong with him and getting him the help that he needs. I would do anything for him if I had the finances and even without.
