Serenity is a 10-year-old Mixed Breed in Columbia, MD, who needs $2,000 for Amputation of the Front Left Leg.

Serenity is a ten-year-old mixed breed dog we adopted as a 7-week-old puppy. She was billed as a pure breed German Shepherd, but DNA proved that wrong. She has seven different breeds! She has had a blessed life with four cats and 2-days a week at playdates. Living in Maryland she gets car rides daily and goes everywhere with her family.

She loves interacting with people and is often called the neighborhood welcome party. Mostly she enjoys sitting near Mom as she works. When visitors arrive, she is the first to greet them usually with butt wags and small barks. She is the center of the house and our family.

She is incredibly special due to her coloring. In the last four years, she has turned white on her head. As a surprise when told it was vitiligo. The same problem that Michael Jackson had and most people did not know that it was something that dogs can experience. It makes her so beautiful and special.

December 2023 had Serenity limping which led us to make a veterinary appointment. Thinking it was just a pulled muscle we were heartbroken to find that it was bone cancer. After several veterinary appointments and testing the cancer is limited to her left front leg. We scheduled to have the leg removed but the bill of $7578.18 plus earlier bills $2,740.60.

Pressing is the surgery cost. I can only get a loan for $4800 and if my credit is not perfect it is a high rate. Hoping for assistance with this bill.
