Sami is a 10 year old Yorkshire Terrier in Hampstead, NC, who needs $10,000 for CT Scan and Oral Surgical Procedure.

Sami lives with her 3 non fur sisters, mom and dad. Sami was the only one in her litter and we thankfully were able to adopt her! She was under 3 months old when she became our girl! She's a Maltese/ Yorkie. Sami came at a time of particular heartbreak for me, after suffering a miscarriage, I didn't realize how much I would come to love and need her. She is so loved and fills a special place.

Sami has a cancerous tumor in her mouth. We have caught it early but the surgery to remove the cancer and vaccine to prevent further disease spreading is far too expensive for us.

Sami doesn't know she is a doggy! She is a sister, the snuggler and cheese taster. She is emotionally aware of any heartache in our house and tends to her family with love and attention when we are in need. She uses her little paws like hands and will force herself into your arms- favorite place is on a blanket on my legs or curled up with her dad or sisters. She's the best nurse too for all!

We didn't realize what a huge financial crisis it would be to have a dog I'll with cancer. None of the life saving treatments are inexpensive. I am personally seeking a job. Money is tight and we have not prepared for this type of situation.
