Shepard is a 10-year-old Shepherd/Basset Hound Mix in Las Vegas, NV, who needs $2,000 for Cancer Treatment.

We met 10 years ago when my other dog Corgi, which happened to be named Corgi, got cancer. I had decided that I should get another dog so she would not be alone. So I went to the pound and found this beautiful energetic pooch which is a Shepherd/Basset Hound mix. When we locked eyes I knew that he was the one.

When I first got him I had left him alone in my loft and I had about 20 rolls of toilet paper from Costco laying around. Well, when I came home and as I was opening the door I just saw this furry gray thing run by at warp speed it looked like a silver smear and as I opened the door I saw that he had redecorated my whole house with the toilet paper, it looked like Halloween. LOL!!

Shepard is a big cuddle-bug most of the time. He sleeps at the foot of the bed. However, just before it’s time to get up, he snuggles up right next to me for a little bit and then as soon as he sees sunlight he would start whining and barking demanding his food. He definitely had me trained. I love his facial expressions at certain things especially when he is watching TV with us.

Shepard has bone cancer and in order for them to make an accurate determination he needs an MRI which is 3000 dollars. He has always been there for me through all the good times and bad and now I have to be there for him in his bad time. I feel very helpless as he lays there just because I am not as fortunate as some that have the means to save their little loved one.

Due to a sudden unexpected expense in my life I have no more savings and am living paycheck to paycheck. I know it’s asking a lot during these times but my Shepie means so much to me. I hope you can help me get the cancer treatment so he can be around me a lot longer.
