Tankaboo is a 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Chattanooga, TN, who needs $2,000 for Removal of a Mast Cell Tumor.

My 14 year old son had a therapy dog he had gotten a few years ago that was dying of an incurable cancer. In order to soften the blow he and I went to an animal shelter and found Tank. We fell in love immediately! My son and the entire family were so happy and found comfort and joy in having Tank. We can’t imagine life without him.

About two weeks ago Tank was diagnosed with a Mast Cell Tumor. It is a skin cancer that his breed are prone to getting. His vet, at Lookout Valley Veterinary Clinic, said that she can operate and remove the tumor. His prognosis is great if gotten to in time. However, the cost is more than I am able to pay. It is estimated to be between $1,500 to $2,200. I appreciate any help I can get to save him.

Tank is like having a real life teddy bear! He is so full of love and is a gentle soul. He is very stubborn but also eager to please with his silliness and compassion. Tank has truly been there for our family during a lot of heartache experienced. I owe it to him to now be there for him. He’s never let us down and I refuse to let him down. Please, help me to keep my promise of keeping him with us.

Unfortunately, I am on disability and have limited resources making this surgery very difficult to finance. I am trying to explore all revenues to make it possible. I deeply appreciate any support I can receive, and I know Tank does as well.
