Shadow is a 16-month-old Standard Poodle in Bothell, WA, who needs $1,200 for Mass Removal W/Histopathology.

My mother bought the puppy for my son who suffers with ADHD, PTSD, and autism spectrum. She has since had to quit her job to be home with my son when he is not at school or at his father's home. We are living in an apartment that has raised our rent $500. in July and we were already struggling with the living situation. My mom is 73 years young and wants to work again but unable to find .

The puppy bonded immediately with my son, as the breeder tested him for personality match. He cries when my son goes to school or to his father's for visitation, as he cannot go to his father's with him due to the animosity towards anything that pertains to his life at home.

He loves to watch videos of other Poodles and also likes to watch when we play video games. He loves to play ball, and take long walks and sniff everywhere. He was attacked at a off leash dog park right after we got him home. So now he is afraid of other dogs and of many other noises he hears outside now.

He started with a very small spot on his back by his spine about the size of a roofing nail head. It got larger over a period of 1 month and a biopsy was performed on it in October. It is non cancerous but rapid growing and we asked the veterinarian to drain it about two weeks ago. She did so but warned that it would continue to fill, which it has now is the size of an old silver dollar.

I got a good job the day after we got the puppy, My mom had to quit as we cannot afford after school care. She is on Social Security and doesn't get that much every month. Puppy has had some ongoing health issues. We are about to be evicted...
