Pacer is a 10-year-old Australian Mix in South Lake Tahoe , CA, who needs $1,800 for Tumor Mass Removal.

Ten years ago I found Pacer on craigslist, a very friendly woman decided she wanted to re-home a six month old puppy. Him and I fell in love instantly. Pacer is such a great companion, I work for a federal wildland firefighter crew and in the winter I don't make much money. We rent a room in lake Tahoe. Pacer and I can't wait for summer.

I feel like Pacer could be an emotional support dog. He has a really keen ability to notice when somebody is sad, and he'll come over and put his head in your lap. I've noticed that he almost loves my father and my brother more than me seemingly. But even guests that we have over to the house, I notice them fall in love with Pacer almost instantly.

Pacer tucks his upper lips up and shows his teeth as a smile daily. Pacer absolutely lives to play fetch. I find that he, more than other dogs really likes fruit and vegetables. And good luck finding a dog more willing to cuddle. Pacer truly is a natural cattle ranch dog, not shy of horses or any other creatures.

So we 've been happy friends of our veterinarian hospital for a while now. They always treat us so fabulous! Just recently I've discovered a benign tumor on the back of pacer's neck... And while he's still in good spirits and one of the fastest dogs at the dog park.. The tumor has grown exponentially in size recently.

Because the tumor has grown so fast and I won't start making decent paychecks for another couple months, I'm asking for financial help. I have $0 and I'm not really sure when I'll start making better money, And to be honest, I'm in all kinds of debts since my recent divorce.
