Rico Sanchez is a 10 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in ALBUQUERQUE, NM, who needs $2,000 for Mast Cell Tumor Removal.

2014 I rescued Rico from the dog pound. He was the cutest little mischievous puppy ever. He was tearing everything in his cage up. I knew it had to save him and love him forever. They named him Usher, but that had to go. I knew Rico would be by y right hand. Rico from The penguins of Madagascar came to mind. Perfect. He's always the with a kiss, paw shake or just the look that he understands.

Rico has mast cell tumors. My hopes are to remove these tumors and save his life. I've done everything in my power to get his spleen removal and the first round of removing masses. My family has helped with chemo injections, and Ricos care team has been great. The 3 masses he has left have stopped responding to the prednisone. They've grew and stated bleeding. They need to be removed.

I just want Rico to be able to play with his sister Noodles. He want to take his walks still but we just can't go as far anymore. He has the desire but gets tired faster now. Rico love play with his speaker toys on the couch with Noodle. He also enjoys just hanging out on the couch with the kids. Ricos favorite thing to do is eat pizza. I call him a pizza slut cause he'll do anything for it.

I am asking for help. My hours have been cut back. My dad passed on Jan 27th. I've maxed out Carecredit, still have a bill. It just been a rough start to the year. I have things to sell but no interested buyers.I don't need sympathy just a little understanding. I need my bab
