Poncho is a 14-year-old Terrier Mix in Clarksville , IN, who needs $2,000 for Bladder Mass Removal.

I got poncho as a pup in November of 2009, he was so adorable, he always laid on my chest and fall asleep , he liked being high up , and even as he grew he would like climbing up on my chest , he got a bit to big for that though so he stopped and loves looking out the windows at cats to bark at . We live in a trailer I rent the lot here and am on disability, so month check is limited.

Spoiled rotten , I always try to make him happy , I bake chicken and mix with his jinx dog food , he always gets a treat after going potty outside , we walk every morning and evening , he loves people and very sweet , but he barks at cats and others outside , letting me know some things going on out there in the neighborhood. Gets along with other dogs . Doesn’t mind being patted by strangers .

When he wants to play he brings the toy bone to me wags his tail I take hold of it , then pertends to not let me have it but then ok , I throw it , he brings back only to take and try’s yo hide it in a bag or something, and looks at me , then barks like he can’t get it . Wanting me to retrieve it for him ,it usually works .

He started peeing a lot more then usual and then in the floor too , got to noticed that it was getting hard to get out , only drips , I took him to vet and the did tests , used my care credit card for a high bill , my payment each month is 135.00 to pay on it , they gave him medication, it helped a lot , lot he was getting better , but it started happening again , he gets vomiting due to bladder

So again I take him to vet , this time she tells me about the growth in the bladder , claims she told me last time , but I miss understood her thinking it was a lump on his side , she emptied the bladder gave meds , said he need’s surgery or put to sleep , I can’t bear that
