ROXY is a 7-year-old Pitbull in Lancaster, CA, who needs $900 for Mastectomy.

Roxy was abandoned by her owner about 1 year ago. He asked me to watch his dog for a month and the owner just never came back to get her. I called him several times but he refused to come get her. He told me to take her to the pound. So I kept her. She is the sweetest dog and just loves to cuddle and love on me.

Roxy loves sleeping in bed with me and looks forward to breakfast and dinner. Her daily walks are something she can't wait for every day I can't even say the word WALK around her. Roxy enjoys playing with her best friend Winter who is a very small terrier mix and she lets Winter boss her around even though she is twice the size of Winter.

Roxy can always tell when I am feeling anxious or depressed. She gives me something to focus on when I am feeling anxious or depressed that I no longer need to take my medication. She gives me a reason to push myself and take care of someone else other then myself. She is so gentle with other dogs even though she is bigger then the other dogs I bring her around.

Roxy was presented for consultation for a right mammary mass. The mass
was first noted a few months ago and was small, however, it has recently started growing, so the
owner wanted it evaluated. She is reportedly intact, but was adopted as an adult, and the owner
has never witnessed Roxy go through a heat cycle. She is otherwise a happy, healthy, active dog.

I suffered from sever depression and anxiety so I just started working about 2 years ago and I have not built enough of a savings for this surgery. I can put $800 towards the surgery but I just don't have enough yet.
