Scooter is a 9 year old Mix-Breed in Greensboro , NC, who needs $2,000 for Diagnosis and Treatment.

My buddy Scooter is a 9 year old Pitbull Beagle mix and a rescue that a police officer in my city found on the street. I took him in as a puppy about 8 months old and just now got him integrated with my other dog Ellie. He has been the best behaved dog and is full of energy. I don't know what I would do if I lost him.

I am currently working on raising the funds that I definitely can't afford to get him checked out and taken care of because of a mass growth on his hind leg. The growth is getting bigger and he WILL NOT stop licking it now. I am praying it is not cancerous and is NOT something major but it looks like it possibly could be. I need to get him in ASAP so he and myself can be at ease.

Scooter is my buddy and Ellie and him gets along great. I lost one dog in the past three years and it's been so bad still thinking about him. He loves chewies and cookies and loves to play with his talking ball. He goes in the bathroom and closet when he knows it's going to storm. He also sleeps buried under the blankets at night.

I can't afford too much due to unexpected bills considering my wife left me and he was mostly with her. I'm trying to put money back but it's very slim. Please help me get my buddy back to normal.
