Tony is a 6 year old Yorkshire Terrier in Streamwood, IL, who needs $2,000 for Chemotherapy.

Tony was rescued from a dog shelter when he was about 4 months old, he was abused by the owner and had a broken front leg. His leg was set and healed, He didn't bark for the first two weeks I had him. He was afraid of everything. Gradually he became more trusting and even barked. He is my best friend and is an angel, I've been widowed for the last years, and he is even more special to me.

about three weeks ago, I noticed his swollen right side lymph node. I set up an appointment for him and was told it was lymphoma. I was referred to an Oncology Vet at Thrive Pet Health. Dr. Kim examined him and sadly told me the bad news, Tony was at stage three of Lymphoma. I started him on his first treatment - there are 19 weekly treatments he has to have each treatment is $630.00 a week

Tony is a little clown when he's excited he stands on his two back feet and runs in circles. He is never far from me and likes lying on the couch and sleeping in bed with me. Tony loves his treats and walks outside.

I mentioned I'm a widower and have been going on for five years. Unfortunately, I am not able to pay his vet bill, he has had one treatment so far but has a long way to go. Tony is my best friend he's only 6. He's a gentle soul and I pray I can have him with me longer.
