Rev is a 7 year old Labrador Retriever in Fort Worth, TX, who needs $14,000 for Stereotactic Radiation.

Rev was rescued from the Humane Society at 3 months old. While other puppies barked and jumped, this gentle giant cowered quietly in the back of his kennel — and we knew he needed us. Adopting him was the best decision we ever made. His name honors two loves: our Texas A&M Aggie pride and our US Army veteran roots. Rev is our version of Reveille — mascot and bugle call combined.

Rev was recently diagnosed with a cancerous, aggressive pituitary brain tumor — the likely cause of his sudden onset diabetes insipidus, and hypothyroidism, all developing within two months. Without treatment, his expected lifespan is 3-6 months, with severe neurological decline imminent. He is under the care of PetCure Oncology, where he will receive targeted stereotactic radiation.

Rev is our daily joy and our teenage son's emotional support animal. He loves everyone unconditionally and has been the gentlest foster brother to countless dogs rescued from euthanasia lists and tiny fragile kittens — all successfully adopted. He is the sweetest soul in every room he enters. At over 100 lbs he absolutely thinks he's a lap dog, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

At just 7 years old, we weren't ready for this. Targeted radiation is expensive, but we will fight for every good day ahead. We caught it early and the prognosis is good — but time matters. Every penny brings us closer to 2-3 more years with our sweet boy.
