Riah is a 12-year-old Chi/Doxie/Beagle/Jack Russel Terrier Mix in Reseda, CA, who needs $700 for Lomustine, Denamarin & Clavacillian.

Rescued from West LA Animals shelter in 2008, Mariah now called Riah was adopted by me and her dog sister Stitch. A few months later her brother Buddy came along, also rescued. She was listed as a doxie/chi mix however after watching her I started seeing bits of JRT and Beagle in her. Riah's jumping made me think she was part Kangaroo, which I then started calling her Riah Roo and Roo Roo.

Riah loves to sleep under the covers or on top of the covers but right smack by me in bed. If not in bed she loves her beds or snuggling with her brother & or sister in one of the dog beds. Riah loves going on walks, car rides with mama, and she most definitely does not like being left alone if she doesn't have to be. Riah loves belly rubs & loves to give kisses which I take as her talking.

I was on disability for my congenital heart defect & now am for stage 4 Cancer. Riah is my kid, my everything. I would do anything for her like I would her dog brother & sister. I've always tried to save enough in case of an emergency, but Cancer was not saved up for.

Riah we thought had allergies for the past two years, but it turned out that it wasn't allergies it was in fact cancer. After being seen by a competent vet at Best Friends Animal Hospital, they referred me to a Vet Dermatologist which was the one who took the biopsies & diagnosed her with Cutaneous Lymphoma with observations of CETL. Currently, she goes to SFV- Veterinary Cancer Group, Dr. Wiles.

Riah thinks the vacuum and fireworks are evil. She will bark & chase the vacuum with her siblings and hide or stick right by me when the fireworks go. She loves to bark out front in the yard & act like she is house security. She wants to be friends with everyone, & wants to play with them even if they don't. She will never run from me but put her in the park or a yard she zooms like the roadrunner
