Scout is a 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog in Philadelphia , PA, who needs $2,000 for CHOP.

We received scout when he was 8 weeks old from a farm in North Carolina. The moment we met him we knew he will be our baby forever. He is the kindest, sweetest and smartest dog I have ever met. As we just bought a house and are about to move, Scout was diagnosed with lymphoma. We want him to give him the best opportunity to survive, which sadly means the most expensive chemotherapy treatment.

He is our protector of the family, yet, is kind to strangers as long as they are kind to his family. He always ensure he has an eye on his mommy and daddy. He makes sure you get your daily exercise by throwing the ball for him for hours. At night and in the morning he is the best snuggle buddy and makes sure you look over you while you sleep.

Scout always makes me smile chasing any water stream possible. He could play with water forever. He is also very caring. When I have a bad day, he lays with me, puts a paw on my leg indicating that everything will be ok. He loves to ‘help’ me with laundry by ensuring that no sock is left behind. Just a smart and caring dog.

In the beginning of May, Scout, our almost 3 years Australian cattle dog, was diagnosed with lymphoma (multi centric). With no chemotherapy treatment, he only has 6-8 weeks to live. He starts his chemo therapy this coming Friday.

After buying and renovating the house to move in, Scout was diagnosed with his illness. We want him to live past the 6-8 weeks as he is still so young and we love him
Like our child (especially as we don’t have children on our own)
