Rizzo is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Sparta, WI, who needs $10,000 for Surgery to Remove Remaining Cancer and Vaccine.

Hi, my name is Rizzo. I am a 4 1/2 year old rescue puppers. My siblings and I were discarded on the side of the road when we were just weeks old. I was taken in by a foster family, until I found my forever family. My family adopted me when I was 9 weeks old.

Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with Oral Melanoma a few weeks ago. I have since undergone one surgery to remove the mass and two teeth. I was seen at the VCA Oncology department in Madison, WI, were I underwent a CT scan so we could get more information.

I am a very sweet boy. I love playing with my brother Hondo and taking car rides with my family. I love to run around and play. I love to take walks and runs with my mom and dad. I still get a little scared of storms, but I have a special place in the basement by my brother Jordan that I feel safe. I love greeting everyone at the when they come to visit.

My mom and dad both work full time jobs and make a decent living. Unfortunately, this is a very unexpected cost for them and they want to do the best they can for me to live a full life. My family does have some money set aside, but will not be able to cover all costs.
