Sassy is a 5-year-old Pit Terrier Mix Dog in Gastonia, NC, who needs $1,000 for Mast Cell Tumor scar revision surgery.

We saved Sassy from a bad situation when she was about a year old. I say I saved her but instead she truely saved me. She is my protector and my big baby. I can not imagine her not taking up my entire queen size bed or staring at me when she needs to go potty. Or nudging me when she wants to be petted. She makes anyone that meets her smile. She has the most calm and loving personality.

Sassy is so loving. She plays with my daughter by arguing with her. She literally backtalks ( barking) while they 'argue' ( play) It is the cutest thing ive ever seen! She is honestly like a child not a dog. We have met people that are afraid of 'pitbulls' but once they meet her and see her huge personality and super calm demeanor she always wins them over!

Sassy loves her treats and going for car rides. She enjoys laying in the sun and going under the covers at night. Shes never met a stranger and will attack you - WITH KISSES! Shes a gentle giant with a heart of gold. Sassy loves the dog park and all her friends there. She will lay on her back to let us know that shes not ready to go and everyone laughs at us lol

Sassy had a lumpectomy in Feb and results came back as a stage 2 low grade mast cell tumor. They were not able to clear the margins. We finally got in to see the oncologist who recommends another surgery to clear all margins. They are confident of a positive outcome and that they can get it all. The office is Charlotte Animal Referral & Emergency.

I am alone and work FT. 40 hours a week. I live paycheck to paycheck and used my savings for the last surgery. I need help to save my baby please! She is my world and I cannot imagine my life without her in it
