Roush is a 13 year old Jack Russell Terrier in Goldsboro, NC, who needs $2,000 for Diagnosis of Mass and Removal Surgery.

We got Roush after our previous Jack Russell passed away. Our hearts were broken, and the house felt too quiet. Then we found Roush at a local shelter. He had been discovered tangled up in a soccer net—scared but full of life. We knew instantly he was meant to be part of our family. We named him Roush after the Ford racing Mustang, because from the moment we brought him home, he just wanted to run

Recently, we noticed something wasn’t right—Roush started breathing oddly. After a vet visit, we got the heartbreaking news: there’s a mass pressing on his throat. Our regular vet didn’t feel comfortable doing the surgery and referred us to an emergency/specialty center in Wilson, NC

He’s more than just a pet—he’s family. He loves our kids with all his heart and greets every dog he meets like a lifelong friend. He’s the best snuggler, always finding his way into someone’s lap or under a cozy blanket. Before our kids came along, Roush was the one who kept me company during my husband’s deployments. He was my emotional anchor through long, quiet nights.

We’ve been trying to save—but life happens. A broken appliance, a medical bill, school supplies… something always comes up. We love Roush with everything we have, and we just want him to have the chance to breathe easy again and live out his happy, snuggly days with us.
