Raven is a 9-year-old Lab in Phoenix , AZ, who needs $2,000 for Surgical removal of Large Mass.

I adopted Raven along with his sister when they were just puppies. He is a lab/mix. Previously to me owning them they were both saved from a box in the backyard. I was told they were the only siblings that lived. They were completely covered in mange and were missing most of their hair. They have both lived with me for nine years.

Raven has been in Sweetheart since day one. He is the one that loves to cuddle and is always happy no matter how much pain he is in. He is very loving to his sibling and always kind to other dogs. He loves to play with his sister, they are connected at the hip it seems. Food and love is all he knows as my niece will say. He keeps her company a lot, they are close buddies.

Raven loves to spoon. You will wake up and he will be laying on a pillow behind you with his arm over you. He’s sneaky, likes to trick his sister so he can steal her food. He loves kiss is so much that he feels everyone needs a bath. He is also a personal alarm clock. The minute he knows it’s time to get up, he will come to your side and kiss you until you get up. He always knows when your sad.

Just recently he started to grow a large mass on his side. The vet was amazed at how healthy and happy he was considering it’s size and his hip dysplasia. The mass has been tested and it is removable, also not likely to spread. If I can get it removed, he has a really good chance at living a long life. I posted a picture of it with my foot next to it to show you the size.

I recently quit my job to go to school full-time, and my husband is overseas. He is our only source of income. If the tumor is not removed, it will eventually open up and I will have to put him down. Raven is our family, saving him means the world to us and to his sister.
