Speedy is a 9-year-old Chorkie in Los Angeles, CA, who needs $1,700 for Basal Cell Tumor Removal.

Our story begins in December 2013 I was getting on the elevator to go to the store and my neighbor and best friend by the name Joy happened to be on the elevator also she had a cute little puppy that she had just received so she was o. Her way to the store to get a crate but once speedy and I locked eyes it was a done deal.
Joy saw this said this is not my dog she obviously belongs to you

It's just she and me and my friend Speedy either sleeps with me or next to the bed in her little bed she got her name since she is like Speedy Gonzalez she is extremely intelligent and very loving she will communicate by stomping her feet she will bring you her stuffed baby if you ask her to or if you want her ball she will bring it she loves tuna and cheese and fresh peas this is so hard

Speedy is my child I have had her since 5 weeks old and she is now 9 years old we have been through so much an abusive relationship homelessness the deaths of my son his father 4 mos after then my grandmother and 24hrs later my mom then in Feb I was diagnosed with bilateral adrenal adenomas on each kidney resulting in cushings syndrome I begin treating in July 2 wks after I find tumor on her

Speedy was on the way to routine vet appt and I found a lump on her chest I was referred to specialist and spent 3/4 of my fixed income to do a fine needle application and cytology report they want to send to lab but I can't pay what they need they also say that it can be removed and she will be fine but that cost 1690-2260 that is 4 months of income I'm devastated I have one thing that's her
