Sunny is a 12 year old German Shepherd Dog in Manalapan, , who needs $1,200 for Tumor Removal.

Sunny is a rescue that joined our family about 12 years ago. Her full name, Sunset, was chosen because of her beautiful sunset-like fur, but we like to call her Sunny for short. She is an integral member of our family who has been with us through thick and thin. We have had other pets, alongside her, but they have unfortunately passed away, which leaves her as our only one at this moment in time.

Recently, we had taken her to the Central Monmouth Animal Hospital in New Jersey, because of a lump that appeared on her right hind leg. They performed a biopsy that confirmed that it was a cancerous tumor. They do not know what type of cancer it is without removing and testing it. However, this surgery will help to rid us of the main source of the problem and improve Sunny's quality of life.

Sunny steals the hearts of everyone who meets her. Funnily enough, she was listed as a rescue after failing police training, due to her very friendly nature. Her hobbies include playing soccer and cooling off in her appropriately sized pool. While she may be 12 years old and considered a senior-aged dog, she is very much a puppy at heart, through and through.

Our need for help comes from being a lower-income family that is struggling to make ends meet. My husband passed away over five years ago, I am working multiple jobs, and my daughter is trying very hard to pay off her tuition. This surprise expense puts further strain on us.
