Spencer is a 8 year old Labrador Retriever in Tucson , AZ, who needs $4,500 for Right Front Leg Amputation.

Spencer has been a very special part of my life, as well as several other people which includes our Ranch family. Spencer came into my life eight years ago after meeting my mom’s friends who live in Iowa. I had stayed with them while meeting my dad (and his family)for the first time, who was in hospice.
Spencer has brought me closer with my friends and family in Iowa and for that I am grateful.

Spencer had been limping. After x-rays, rest and medications were tried.. Spencer needed a CT with a bone biopsy. During the CT they found a mass in the distal portion of Spencer‘s humerus in his right front leg. Further diagnostics have been done to ensure that their cancer has not spread. It is recommended that Spencer get his leg amputated followed by chemo. Diagnosed with an osteosarcoma.

Spencer has a heart of gold, a love for life and adventure. He brings joy to everyone he meets. He has been my sense of security and protector. He is an empathetic dog and senses everyone’s feelings. He is loved by our horse/4H/ and ranch community. He has been with me through the thick and thin of life. He is a bright light for me as well as for many others. He’s a lover.

I recently graduated from registered nursing school. While working full-time in the emergency department as an LPN while going to school full-time, I experienced various hardships, which set me back financially as I had to call off work frequently.
