Roman is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Marion, OH, who needs $1,200 for Surgery and Biopsy.

My dog (Roman) has been part of our family since the day he was born! He is one of 8 puppies born to my family's first dog Abel. She is still a happy and healthy member of the family. The kids all had their favorite puppies, but I knew from day one that he was the one for me. We didnt actually plan to keep any of the puppies. But idk I guess I just fell in love with him, I couldn't let him go...

He has been perfectly health his entire life until about 4 months ago. I noticed a lump behind his ear. After a week or two I noticed it growing so I took him to Kantzer Veterinary Clinic. He was given meds, but really needed it cut off and biopsied. Unfortunately we could not afford the $1200 cost. After taking the medicine the lump fell off. But now it has come back 100 times worse.please help!

He has been my best friend for 71/2 years. All of the puppies in the litter were beautiful, but he was extra special! I bonded with him immediately. But after awhile I came to realize that he means even more to my children! He is their protector, Their best friend when they're happy, and their shoulder to cry on when they're sad. He is not our pet, he is an important piece of our family!

Me and my wife both work full time. But we have 3 children, 3 dogs , and what feels like an impossible amount of bills. We're halfway through paying off our first home and car. We get by but unfortunately its just barely. A $1200 vet bill is just not possible for us.
