Ritchie is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd in Green Bay, WI, who needs $2,000 for Chemotherapy.

Ritchie has been apart of the family since he was just a puppy. He lives with his adopted brother Oliver and loves his cat siblings Chai and Momo. Ritchie is doted on by my fiancé and I, dare I say even spoiled. Ritchie absolutely deserves it though, he brightens up our lives with his amazing smile.

On February 23rd Ritchie was diagnosed with cancer; estimated costs to start chemotherapy are around $5,000 at Parkside Animal Care Center. He will have monthly appointments we will need to pay in full. Right now Ritchie is on steroids but the life expectancy for this treatment is 7-8 months. It would mean everything if we could afford to get him the treatment he needs to live a fuller life.

You can often find Ritchie cuddling with anyone available. He has so much love to give and is so gentle. He has the most expressive eyes and know how to work his little eyebrows to get what he wants.. which is usually tummy rubs. He will gently tap you with his paw to ask that you continue petting him and he loves it so much that sometimes he asks for more even if you're already at it!

My fiancé and I are currently working as hard as we can to put our own funds towards the costs but we also are dealing with a recent move and changing jobs while processing and paying for Ritchies treatment. Anything helps. He means so much to so many.
