Rhea is a 4 year old Cane Corso in High Point, NC, who needs $2,000 for Cancer Removal Surgery.

Rhea embodies resilience. When we met at my local shelter, she was emaciated, heartworm (+), and discarded after breeding—yet her spirit remained unbroken. Now, she’s the heart of our home, full of love and grace. But at just 4 y/o, 6 mammary tumors threaten her future. After two layoffs, affording treatment is tough, but giving up isn’t an option. She deserves the chance to keep thriving.

Rhea has mammary tumors, a common cancer in female dogs—half are malignant, making treatment urgent. Surgery is her best shot, but after two layoffs, affording it is a struggle. Still, giving up isn’t an option. Skeet Club Vet Hospital has been amazing, guiding us through this tough journey. Rhea finally has the love and safety she always deserved—now she just needs a chance to keep living it.

Despite her past, Rhea is pure love. She adores people, other animals, and every adventure life offers. She’s an explorer on long walks, a squirrel chaser, a couch potato and a pro at sneaking snacks with her siblings. After everything she’s endured, she carries no bitterness—just joy, trust and endless love. She finally has the life she deserves; now, she just needs the chance to keep living it.

After 2 layoffs, money is tight, and Rhea’s vet bills are overwhelming. But giving up isn’t an option. She’s fought so hard for the love and safety she has now—I just want to give her the chance to keep living it, happy and healthy, with her tail wagging and her heart full.
