Ranger is an eight-year-old Saint Bernard in Great Falls, MT, who needs $569 for tumor removal surgery.

This has been a rough holiday season for Debbie W. Her husband has been fighting cancer, their bank accounts are dwindling, and now their beautiful dog, Ranger, needs urgent surgery.

"Ranger developed a limp, and a mass was found on his right front leg," Debbie tells Waggle. "He is in significant pain and cannot bear weight on the leg without crying. X-Rays showed a fatty tumor that needs to be surgically removed. Our vet said the sooner, the better due to its location."

But with everything going on, the family can't pay for Ranger's surgery. "We are currently in financial need due to my husband having stage three cancer. Our income has been greatly affected due to his inability to work at the present time. My income is all we have, and I only work three days a week," Debbie says.

Debbie's husband is a veteran, and Ranger's name is very dear to his heart. "My husband named him Ranger after the USS Ranger that he served on while in the U.S. Navy. He is just the sweetest boy who loves everyone he meets and gives big slobbery kisses. Ranger is deeply loved and adored by his family," she says.

Ranger's surgery is scheduled at Big Sky Animal Medical Center, and Debbie is hoping, with your help, they'll raise the money he needs! They are very grateful for your love and support.
