Ray is a 13-year-old Pit Mix in Saint Paul, MN, who needs $1,200 for Mass Removal Surgery.

I acquired Ray 13 yrs ago from the Animal Emergency Clinic and Referral Center when he was brought in for being shot in the eye. I fixed him up and took him home and he has loved and protected my family since. He had this tumor for about 5 month and he decided to try remove it himself. So I need help getting his surgery to have it removed and closed up.

Ray sleeps on the couch
with my husband, now that he has a hard time getting into my bed. He likes to snuggle up with the cat, me, and the kids. He does like going for walks, running, and swimming. When he was younger, he liked to do a lot of agility, and now that he’s older, we still do some but not as much. He likes to play tug-of-war, chew on hard toys, and eat lots of treats.

He loves to cuddle up with me and the family, including other pets. He loves to play in water with the kids and run around with them. He likes training with me and playing learning games. Everyone who meets him loves him.

He has this tumor that has shown up about five months ago, and has grown very large. He decided it was time to remove it, and tried to do so himself. So now we need to get it removed and closed up so it can heal properly. Access veterinary Hospital is going to do the surgery.

I would absolutely love to have him around for a couple more years with the family. This was just a bad time of year with all our birthdays and Christmas and my husband not getting very many hours at work like normal.
