Zooko is a 5 year old German Shepherd Dog in New Britain, CT, who needs $2,000 for Chemo Program (CHOP).

I bought my Zooko from a patient I met, she was Bosnian . She had a male and female purebred German Shepard sent by a relative from Germany to her in Connecticut. When mom and dad were about 4 yrs old they had a litter of beautiful pups. I loved Zooko from the moment I saw him! When the puppies were 8 wks old. I brought Zooko home, that was in 2019 and we have been together ever since,

Several weeks back, my daughter and I took Zooko for an exam because we needed a second opinion on his left back foot that was bothering him. The Dr examined him and stated that his lymph nodes in the back of his legs were swollen, we then had extensive testing done and the diagnosis was an aggressive form of Lymphoma. My heart felt like it was being crushed. I have taken him to Pieper Memorial.

Hospital for Chemo treatment. I cannot imagine not having him with me anymore. All my children and grandchildren love him so much and have been active and frequent in his life. We are all trying to pay for his treatment, we don’t know if we can continue his treatments because it’s about 600 dollars weekly, he needs 19 rounds of chemo. We just don’t have that much money, He is only on treatment 5

Already he is feeling better, eating better, more playful..and his prognosis is good. If we did not pursue treatment for him he would have only lived another 4 to 5 wks. I don't know how we can continue his chemo without help. He is only five yrs old . Please help my Zooko💔
