Saint is a 6-year-old Pitbull in Lenexa, KS, who needs $2,000 for Surgical Mass Removal.

I got saint in May 2017. He was only 11 weeks old when I got him at that point he had already had a rough life. He had trust and abandonment issues. He did not listen. I never gave up on him and he never gave up on me. Saint is my best friend.

Saint is amazing. He is protective over those he loves. He saved my life by frantically getting me out of a house where I would have died within minutes of carbon monoxide poisoning. He has also on multiple occasions saved my type1 diabetic husband from dying from blood sugar complications by alerting me if he is asleep and his blood sugar skyrockets or drops dramatically. There are no words.

Saint is a giant baby. He loves to cuddle. He loves to do tricks for treats. He also likes to hide my keys when he thinks I am getting ready to leave. Saint dislikes riding in cars because of his anxiety and has a few issues but I would not change a thing about him. I love this dog, he is my best friend and a very important part of my family.

Saint began to get what looked like a skin tag about 2 years ago. It was pink and flesh colored and did not seem to bother him so I did not think much about it. It has continued to grow into a large mass that just kind of hangs from his front leg. Then all of the sudden overnight it grew 3 times its size, turned all black and blue, developed fluid filled blisters, and was causing him pain.

I have not taken him into the vet yet because of the high cost of any vet visit. Times are tough and I don't want to take the chance of them keeping him if I cannot pay. Saint would give his life for me and I would do the same for him. He deserves to not be in pain.
