Rosie is a 7-year-old small mix in Lakebay, WA, who needs $1,850 for testing and tail amputation.

Rosie had a bad background. She was found in a 15 foot hoarder's trailer full of living and nonliving dogs. She had also been abused at that time. Smidget Rescue is a very small rescue here in Washington that rescued her from a kill shelter a few days before she would have been put down and so my friend was fostering her. She was very underweight and very scared. Rosie and I took to each other quickly.

Rosie is now my spoiled girl, she is now the perfect weight and is still learning to trust new people. She is a completely different dog. I got her as an emotional support animal and she has been the best thing in my life. Once she warms up to someone and accepts them you will have her attached to you hip. She loves to see what you are doing at all times.

Rosie is a hoot, she loves to play both with me and by herself, especially with her squeaky toys, loves to play fetch but only inside, LOVES her bully sticks! Rosie is the biggest and best cuddlier you could ask for!

We recently found out that Rosie has a Mast cell tumor on her tail. We go to Banfield Vet but have been referred to an oncologist for more treatment and testing to make sure it is only on her tail and has not spread. Rosie will have to have a tail amputation at the least. We are unsure at this time if or what else will be needed.

I am disabled, waiting for SSDI, I have state disability but that is only a couple hundred a month. Rosie is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her.
