Troy is a 11-year-old Pit Bull Mix in New Britain , CT, who needs $2,000 for Mass Excision.

In 2017 I rescued Troy from a shelter where he had need there for 783 days. The day I met him he became my world and I have spent every day since showing him how special and loved he is. Troy lives with myself and my two children. My children adore him and nothing makes them happier than walking in the door and seeing Troys stub wagging like crazy. Troy has truly made our house a home.

Troy is the king of the castle. Troy sleeps every night in my bed covered in his soft blankets. Troy loves cuddling on the couch with his brother and sister and watching movies. He loves playing tug o war with his brother and basking outside in the sun. Troy just loves having people around him knowing that he is safe and loved.

I had to change positions at my job due to my own health condition and lost all my overtime. Expenses became more with Covid . Troy saved me, he is my world. He means everything to me and I can’t imagine my life without him. He saved me please help me save him.

Troy was suffering from a stomach bug. I brought him to our vet. Dr. Dupre at Manchester Veterinary Clinic. While there I asked her to look at a larger mass I found on his neck. Dr. Dupre immediately got me onto Dr. Okeefe at New English Veterinary Center and Cancer Care. After an exam, xrays, ultrasound and Ct Scan Troy was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer.

I have never seen a dog that doesn’t wanna take a bath but will eat at the water as it comes out of the shower. Every morning Troy barks at the shower as he wants me to turn it on so he can eat the water. He won’t stop barking till I do this it is beyond adorable. Troy does this hoping prance walk when he has to go to the bathroom . He has so many quirky characteristics.
