Spike is a 10-year-old Doberman Pinscher in San Diego, CA, who needs $900 for Mass Removal Surgery + Dental Cleaning.

We rescued him at (supposedly) 5 years old, from a previous owner (a relative’s coworker) who felt she could no longer give him the attention/care he needed.

Spike LOVES people & being glued to our sides. He’s a literal ‘velcro dog.’ He loves to sleep right against my side + loves soft couches/beds. He’s a clingy dog!

Spike’s a Doberman Pinscher & what looks like a scary guard-dog breed, but to the contrary he’ll wiggle up to ANY stranger asking for pets! So not a functional guard dog haha.

My dog just developed a mass/bump on his right cheek that the vet said he recommends we get removed sooner than later during the next time Spike’s put under anesthesia for an annual dental cleaning.
While the vet examined his new cheek mass, he also examined his mouth & diagnosed Spike with periodontal gum disease.

Help Spike live out his remaining years in health!

I’m a recent college grad whose dog is my best friend & mental health saviour!! He’s helped me smile through so many challenges + depressing moments. I can’t imagine life without his happy, healthy, excited disposition.
