Toby is a 12-year-old Chihuahua in Knoxville, TN, who needs $1,800 for Palliative RT.

12 year ago, I lived in a very rural area, very small country town. Toby and his siblings came to be with me after being rescued from a chicken wire cage wrapped around a tree in the middle of winter. He was only 6 weeks old! He immediately came to be part of our family. My daughter is now 13 and we are hoping to overcome the financial obstacle and save our Toby from cancer.

Toby is a small dog, but loves all animals! When small he was raised with cats, chickens, sheep, goats, all the farm animals. He is very playful and loves snuggling under blankets. My son and daughter absolutely adore him, he is the glue to our family. He has been with us my daughters whole life, we couldn’t imagine a life without him, especially just bc we couldn’t afford to save him!

I was a stay at home mom for past 3 years,during said time I graduated pharmacy tech school and am now a pharmacy tech working FT. I have 2 kids, and make $12hr. Even with saving, I am unable to financially cover the whole treatment.I would do anything to save my best friend

Toby had a large bump come up on his face, back of his jaw on the left side. We went to Butlers Animal Clinic in Karns,TN where I was told his bump was a cancerous tumor. They did a fine needle aspiration and determined it was cancerous and inoperable..I was told he was being referred to UT Oncology Vet Specialists for a CT scan. That is where his treatment will be done, palliative RT

Toby is a cover stealer LOL, he loves climbing up and dragging all the covers down so he can snuggle up underneath. The sound his giant ears makes when he shakes off always make me smile. As he runs up and down our hallways, his putter patters always bring a smile to our faces! Just coming home everyday to our best friend is all the happiness I could ask for.
