Remi is a 8 year old Boxer in Winooski, VT, who needs $2,500 for Large Mast Cell Tumor Removal.

Remi is my 8-year-old Boxer-Mastiff mix. I adopted/rescued him from Orleans County Humane Society (Oleand, VT) in May 2020, when he was 2 years old, so he’s been my constant companion for six years. It’s just the two of us at home, but a large circle of family and friends, both human and canine, are part of his daily life as playmates and adventure buddies.

Remi has had a growth on his underbelly for about a year that never caused him any trouble, so we’d simply been keeping an eye on it. Two weeks ago it rapidly worsened: growing/filling, turning bright pink, becoming infected, and now bleeding. He can’t stop licking it, and it’s affecting his mobility. I’m seeking urgent treatment at my primary vet, River Cove Animal Hospital (Williston, VT).

Remi, my doodle, is a gentle giant and the best snuggle buddy. He knows exactly how to get what he wants and communicate his needs, and he’s the best doorman, investigating each person to make sure they’re safe to be near his family. He inherently knows how to read my signals and provide comfort. He’s my best friend and favorite companion, a constant and safe space in my life.

Between a fixed income, necessary living expenses and a recent no-fault car accident, I have no disposable income right now. I’m not sure of the total cost, however, it’s well beyond what I can cover alone. I just want my best doodle boi comfortable through his golden years.
