Oliver is a 10-year-old Border Collie/Lab Mix in Dallas, TX, who needs $1,000 for chemo treatment.

I got Oliver as a puppy from the Collin County Humane Society. He was a very sick and neglected puppy as his litter was finally released to the Humane Society since they were mutts while the rest of the dogs in this family were Border Collies. Living despicable conditions Oliver came to me with Giardia, every kind of worm and Sarcoptic Mange which I contracted from him.

Oliver had been with me for 10 years and it has been just the two of us the entire time. I am single with no children so far so Oliver has been my child. I take him everywhere as Dallas is a dog friendly city. He has gone to the park across the street to play with his friends everyday of his life. Oliver is definitely a Momma’s boy and follows me everywhere.

I am single so I pay for everything myself. I work on commission and because of the pandemic I have barely made any money this year and don’t know when I get paid again. I will do anything to fight this terrible and unfair disease as Oliver is my everything .

Oliver was diagnosed August 18, 2020 with Osteosarcoma in his left ulna. Luckily he was able to have leg sparing surgery to remove the tumor and is also a participant in the Yale Vaccine Trial. Medvet performed his surgery and treating his cancer. His oncologist is Dr. Bobbi McQuowan. He has had three chemo treatments and is to have three more.

Oliver is extremely close with my parents and my sister. He cries, run and jumps on them every time he see them, which is a lot. He is the smartest dog I have ever seen and I am told that quite often. His knowledge and actions amaze me everyday. My family and I call him Rainman because he has to have the same schedule everyday and he does not like change. He cries if anything is out of place.
