Sirius is a 7-year-old Labrador/Mastiff Mix in Cedar Lake, IN, who needs $2,000 for Endoscopy and Colonoscopy.

We rescued Sirius when he was a 14 months old. We had the wonderful experience of connecting with his original family on the day we adopted him. The Mom even sent us his puppy pictures. They trained him so well! He is 100% good boy! They had to surrender him due to a difficult situation they were going through. We renamed him Sirius Black (Harry Potter). 😊

Sirius LOVES to go swimming! We live walking distance from a lake! He visits his doggie friend, Buddy; who lives lakeside. Sirius will run off their dock and fetch his ball in the water! If we don't have his ball, he will hop in the water, swim until he's tired, get to where he can touch & then repeat! During his adventure, he barks and bites at the waves! 😀 The kids in our community love him!

Our dog loves to play "musical sofas", chase his toys in the house and leap on the bed with them! He is not a snuggler, and tolerates it when we snuggle him 😀. He loves car rides! When he gets dirty, all we have to do when we get inside is say "bathtub" and he immediately goes there & hops in! He loves to sing with me (Phil). He is so cute! He follows us around like our shadow! ❤

Sirius suddenly stopped eating and drinking one day. We have been trying everything to get him to eat. He dropped from 96 pounds to 61 pounds. He has been seen by our veterinarian, Dr. Jeremiah Bieszczak with Hanover Animal Hospital, Med Vet Chicago and he is now at Purdue. It has been a long road trying to figure out what is causing the GI issues he has been experiencing.

Financially, the bills have added up quickly as we have tried to get a diagnosis. While at Purdue, Sirius is having his 3rd ultrasound as well as undergoing a endoscopy & colonoscopy. We do not have pet insurance. We were unable to have kids. He is our boy! Our fur-son!
