Springer is a 11-year-old Black lab mix in Aurora, CO, who needs $2,000 for Soft Tissue Surgery-Mass Removal.

I was gifted Springer back in 2010 from a very dear friend while going through a very difficult period in life. From day 1, he has taught me so many lessons in life & easily became my best friend. I finally got him a fur sister in 2015, they are inseparable. They are my kids and its been just us 3 for many years. Springer is such a nurturing animal and is always protecting the house and me.

Springer is definitely the rule maker & breaker at home. He loves to lay on the balcony in the sun people watching. He is a constant loving presence & reminder of safety in our home. Since a pup he has always greeted everyone with a shoe as if to say "Hi & welcome" To know Springer is to love him.

My boy is very talkative & attentive & protective of me. If he hears me sniffling he comes running wit kisses thinking I'm upset. He truly has such a genuine love for people & has been my lifesaver and rock the last 12 years. He still runs & jumps into his human dads arms when he sees him and wrestles wit his sis. He has hilarious butt,jump, spin ninja moves he still uses to win against his sister

Springer has a large tumor on his upper back leg. It's been diagnosed as soft tissue sarcoma & is growing rapidly. The size has tripled only since his diagnosis 2 weeks ago. Time is crucial!! It has not spread and needs to be removed by surgery. I have his appt set for June 7th. Other than this, Springer is in above average health for his age & is certain to have more years left in him.

I was laid off in January. Due 2 many obstacles finding work took awhile. I waited 17 weeks for any kind of unemployment help. With no income for 3 months I was very behind. Im caught up & now employed but no savings or extra to cover this cost. Please help me save Springer.
