Sawyer is a 13-year-old in Ventura , CA, who needs $2,000 for CHOP protocol chemotherapy.

Sawyer is my soul mate pup. He has been with me since I rescued him when he was 2 months old. We call him Soy Boy and we have a unique song that we sing to him daily which is absolutely loves. When Sawyer was two years old, he was diagnosed with hemolytic anemia and was given a 20 percent chance of survival. This brave pup fought through years of treatment!

Sawyer went into remission from his hemolytic anemia after years of treatment and has lived a great life. Now at the age of 13, he is diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma. Sawyer just welcomed a human brother to the family and has immediately embraced the protective older brother role. After years with his single mama, Sawyer is so content with his daddy and baby to complete his loving family.

Sawyer has such a personality. He is the most loving dog I have ever met and he is so perceptive to anything repetitive that is said. He loves his walks, his ball, the beach, his sweaky toy, his stuffed animal guys, and his blankie on his part of the bed. He hates thunder and wind and will cuddle for extra comfort during those times. Sawyer just wants to make people happy!

Poor Soy Boy has been diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma. Dr Wiles at the Vet Cancer Group SFV has explained that without treatment, Soy has a month to live, but with chemotherapy, he could have a year or longer to live if he tolerates it well and goes into remission. His lymph nodes are swollen, which was what alerted us to the issue. He is in good spirits but will decline fast without chemo.

We are a young family with a newborn baby. We have to be mindful of our new family finances but we can’t let our fur baby die without fighting for him. We hope to be able to treat Sawyer to keep him out of pain and give him more time with his new brother and family.
