Smoochie is a 11.5 year old Mix-Breed in Danbury, CT, who needs $15,000 for Vincristine IV/Cytoxan Combination Chemotherapy.

I’m Shawn, and my partner Tyler and I are proud dog dads to our sweet Jack Russell/Terrier mix - Smoochie.
Some dogs come into your life by chance. Smoochie came into Tyler's life because of a promise.
He was left to Tyler by his mentor, Violet, when she sadly passed in October 2015 after a battle with arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease — a gift that Tyler and I cherish every single day.

Back in January our world was turned upside down when Smoochie was diagnosed with colon cancer. We began treatment with the incredible team at Newtown Veterinary Specialists in Newtown, CT. This team is led by the fearless Dr. Christine Merrick who gaveour precious pup a fighting chance. Thanks to the efforts of her and her team, Smoochie has started his chemotherapy journey with such bravery.

Smoochie is special to us because he is the most affectionate, cuddly pup with eyes that instantly melt your heart and he loves to shower the people he loves with kisses (hence the name).

I, sadly, am between jobs at the moment and the financial commitment of funding this treatment has fallen squarely on Tyler's shoulders at the moment. We are struggling to make ends meet and the cost of the treatment has grown beyond our means to keep up with.
