Rascal is a 11 year old American Staffordshire Terrier in Elgin, IL, who needs $2,000 for Spleenectomy and Chemotherapy.

11 yrs ago Rascal rescued me through ACL Rescue He was just a baby when he was abandoned and tied to a fence for days in Oklahoma heat with a juke rope that wore through to his little throat I was told he was choked by that rope the wound was still raw the day this sweet pup came into my life. Since then he has only known love and kisses I am disabled senior he is my emotional support angel

I found my baby lying on the floor cold and shaking I grab Rascal puppy we arrive at the hospital
he has a massive spleen and hemoabdomen internal bleeding
They do an ultrasound and proclaim " IT APPEARS THE LESIONS ARE ISOLATED TO THE SPLEEN" we never know what we might find during surgery but Rascal is stable he needs surgery right away he stable

Rascal is the funniest character you will ever meet. He brings joy to everyone, especially me. Rascal loves to smell flowers when they grow in the summer and never chases the bunnies in the yard he just lays there and looks at the beauty of nature with me Rascal is my life

I am on food stamps and SSI only. I worked many years for my ex husband he always said it keeps the lights on. So but I never got a paycheck so I wasn't eligible for SSDI when I lost my mobility health
