Omaha is a 8-year-old Mixed Breed in Byron, GA, who needs $1,500 for CHOP Protocol Chemotherapy.

My late husband & I rescued Omaha in 2016 after we lost our first dog. He was about a year old, we were told. He was timid & terrified when we met him. After several months, he adjusted to his new environment & began bonding with us. He quickly began loving his role as the only pet in our home…a spoiled one, at that.

After my 1st husband passed, it was just me & Omie for awhile. He helped me through some very difficult times. I have remarried and after a few months, he learned to love his new daddy so much. We have 12 grandkids for him to love & play with. He is so gentle & tolerates them tugging on him, chasing him around the house & putting tiaras and play necklaces on him.

Omaha loves morning walks around the neighborhood and running along the backyard fence with his neighbor friend, Blacky. He loves pup cups from Dairy Queen and leftovers from our family dinners. He is terrified of car rides, thunderstorms and fireworks. Omie is nervous around new people and situations. He is happiest and most relaxed when he’s in the same room with his family.

About a month ago, Omie had an upset stomach & wasn’t eating well. He was drooling a lot, which was abnormal for him. We went to our local vet hen I found a lump on his neck. A biopsy scheduled, when I noticed other bumps on his back. We returned to the vet & she took some tissue samples. He has large cell lymphoma.

While we weren’t prepared to take on a large medical expense like this, we will do everything possible to extend the amount of time we have with our boy.
