Shadow is a 8 year old German Shepherd Dog in Waynesboro, PA, who needs $1,450 for Tumor Removal.

We have had Shadow since she was 8 weeks old. She is an important part of the family. Our granddaughters always play with Shadow. She got her name because she follows my husband around the house and yard. When feeling down, Shadow will come comfort you, usually with a ball in her mouth. She loves chasing her balls and tire.

We have used Franklin Veterinary Associates for over 15 years. They found Shadow's thyroid issue. Now Shadow takes a thyroid pill everyday. We recently noticed a lump on her breast. Our vet recommends surgery to remove and biopsy it. At they same time, she will spay Shadow. Her prognosis is very good.

Shadow follows my husband around everywhere. She also plays with the family constantly. Our son and his family live with us. His daughters play and pet both Nikita and Shadow. Shadow lets them lay on her. Our youngest granddaughter will lay on her and read her a book. She sleeps in bed with my husband and I, using our legs as pillows.

My husband and I are on a fixed income. It will mean the world to us if Shadow were without the lump and will be with us for still another few years. We are trying to put money aside, but with inflation, it is really hard to save money.
