Vito is a 5 year old American Staffordshire Terrier in Duluth, MN, who needs $3,600 for Oral Mass & Rear Molars Surgical Extraction.

Vito came to us after his companion was no longer able to care for him.He was 3 months old, and I quickly found myself spending every extra moment to snuggle, walk, talk to, and just be around Vito.I noticed after a short time, that before I had a panic attack,Vito would come to me and sit on my feet, or lay in my lap to let me know. Vito has since been classified a service animal, per my Dr.

A year ago, he yawned and I saw a lump on the top of his mouth in the back.Vito's primary vet performed a day surgery to remove it.The labs came back as either melonoma or carcenoma.We were referred to Lake County Veterinary Clinic,where they specialize in oral surgery.Dr. Grace Brown is confident she can remove the mass,and get clean margins so it won't return, which is fantastic news!

Vito has done so much for us, and he's such an amazing, loving, smart, caring, helpful companion. Our hearts are broken each day that we see him suffering,although he will never complain.We love him so much!From the beginning, through the pain,surgeries,and office visits,Vito has never stopped showing us so much love,and helping me as well!He also has a deep love for our cockatiel LuLu :)

Vito's surgery to remove this mass for good is estimated $3600.It's been hard to pay for his(2)surgeries already,and my income is spread thin and fixed.If God has granted you a position to donate,Vito and I would be so very grateful!Thanks to you all,and many blessings :)
