Tahoe is a 7 year old Boxer in College Station, TX, who needs $1,136 for General Surgery to Remove Two Mast Cell Tumors.

My beloved Tahoe came into my life as a tiny puppy, who just fit into my hoodie. I took him everywhere. He was selected by my husband, when my other beloved Boxer, Tucson passed away. He was afraid I was going to grieve myself to death. It took me a while to warm to the new puppy, but he soon grabbed my heart and hasn't let go of it. He sleeps with me.

In March of this year while petting him, I noticed he had a bump by his bone on his right leg. Then I noticed he has a lump by his left underneath haunch. I became concerned, so I took him to the vet, Wellborn Road Veterinary Medical Center.

He has like a gazillion toys, never tears them up, He plays with his favorite- a stuffed cow, a 'screaming chicken,' and his ball. He loves to play fetch. He is my emotional support animal and a comfort. However, he is not friendly with people he does not know. He loves his mommy and his daddy, although his daddy has been away for a while. He loves to chase anything in the yard.

I work a $13 per hour job, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I get part of my SSI; They take $200 out for medicare parts A&B, and almost $200 for court restitution. I was planning on paying for the surgeries with our tax refunds, but court restitution took them too.
