Punky is a 12-year-old Basenji Mix in Rock Hill, SC, who needs $2,000 for Chemotherapy.

Punky lives with her mom in SC, after first living in VA. She was a rescue who had five 3 week old puppies when she was found. She was very thin because she was doing her best to keep her pups alive. After her mom saw her online she adopted this sweet girl who was 1 year old.

Punky is a lovely girl who likes to prance when she wants attention. She hates to get her paws wet too. It's funny to watch her tiptoe through the grass. She is still a little fearful of men but has come a long way in 11 yrs.

When she cannot get the treats out of her treat ball she barks at it to try and get it to work. She likes to do zoomies in the living room where she can circle the coffee table. She knows her left paw from her right. She picks up new things rather quickly. And most of is my constant companion and special girl.
I have been a foster mom to other dogs having nothing but love in my heart for animals.

Unfortunately she currently has a mast cell tumor on her shoulder. This is her second one. She came through surgery and chemo with flying colors last time. Currently she has to have surgery done by River's Edge Animal Hospital in Rock Hill, SC. Followed by chemo with Carolina Veterinary Specialists in Stallings, SC. The total cost for both is approximately $5,000.

Last year I was diagnosed with a genetic heart disorder. The deductible, co-pays, and tests wiped out my hefty cash reserve leaving me in this position. I would do anything to keep her with me for more years so I am swallowing my pride. I am in desperate need for some help.
