Rowan is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Howard, OH, who needs $2,000 for Rectal Polyps and Mass in Colon Removal Surgery.

I adopted Rowan less than a week ago from the dog shelter. As soon as I met him, he ran right up to me and hasn’t left my side since. He is 7 and only had one previous owner I believe who became too old to care for him anymore. He was very stressed at the shelter barely eating and barely able to poop. He has had absolutely perfect behavior ever since I took him home.

Rowan was going to the fredericktown vet who tested him for worms/parasites and said his poop came back negative. When he started bleeding from his butt I took him to COVE Pet Care for emergency care and found he has a mass in his colon and rectal polyps- most likely benign. He needs surgery which is estimated $4,000 just for the surgery.

Rowan and I have bonded so much in a short time. He is the perfect dog. Already trained, so well behaved, kind and such a protector. He has never barked once, never bit anyone, never done anything wrong truly. He doesn’t pull on walks, he comes when called, he snuggles right next to me. Everyone already is attached to our rescue. He’s the perfect dog for hikes and all the kayak trips I do.

I was prepared to pay needs for Rowan but a surgery within one week of adopting him is a little out of budget. I want him to be healthy and feel safe again as I’m sure this has been stressful being sick, at the shelter, losing his previous owner. Can’t wait to play with him.
