Two is a 5-year-old Pit Bull Mix in Philadelphia, PA, who needs $2,000 for 4 Mast Cell Tumor Surgeries.

I adopted Two when he was about 1yo, and after I adopted him I learned that he came to me with heart worm, Lyme disease, allergies, and a bad knee. We went through treatment for heartworm which was extremely challenging for both of us. He was also very anxious moving to the city, so we went through a lot of training! He now is able to live in Philly and he loves his walks through the neighborhood.

It is just me and Two that live together in our apartment and we are very bonded! He always wants to be near me or snuggle up against me. He loves socializing with friends and neighbors and wags his tail really fast whenever a human comes up to him. He will lay on your lap or roll over for belly rubs.

Two has a unique waddle, and many strangers have commented on how cute his walk is. We also hear a lot that he "looks like the happiest dog I've ever seen" when he's bopping down the street. People love to comment on how "densely packed" he is - and how fast he wags his tail and butt when he gets excited. He is also very vocal and many people compare him to a seal.

Two was recently diagnosed with at least 4 mast cell tumors. The tumors must be removed surgically to be able to determine how advanced they are. His vet thinks that he is a dog who may continue to develop these tumors over time due to underlying health issues.

This situation is heartbreaking because due to financial constraints, I cancelled Two's pet insurance a few months before he was diagnosed with cancer. It is so important that Two receive this surgery so that we can biopsy the tumors to see if the cancer is advanced.
