Rip is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Wesley Chapel, FL, who needs $2,000 for Blood Work, Allergy Testing, Seizure Cause and Med.

I brought Rip home just before Christmas 2021 when he was only 4 weeks old. My niece Kennedy and I secretly went to meet a litter of puppies, and the moment Rip walked straight over and climbed into her lap, I knew he was ours. Since then, he's been our loyal protector, adventure buddy, and gentle giant. Now he's facing serious skin issues, and I'm fighting to get him the care he needs.

Rip has developed severe skin issues that continue to worsen despite treatment. He constantly scratches, chews, and irritates his skin, causing sores, hair loss, and bleeding. He also has a growing mass on his ear that concerns me. We need veterinary testing and treatment to determine the cause and help relieve his pain and discomfort.

Rip is more than a dog,he's family. Every morning, he helps wake my niece Kennedy up for school licking her until she gets out of bed. He loves car rides and wants to go everywhere with me. At 95 pounds, he looks tough, but he's really just a giant baby. He protects the people he loves. Rip has been my constant companion through some of the hardest times in my life, and I can't imagine our family

I'm facing financial hardship after multiple surgeries. I've had 7 surgeries since November myself. Rip's worsening condition requires veterinary care I can't afford. Any support will help provide the testing and treatment he needs to be healthy and comfortable again.
