Oakland, CA
Rudy has been in my life since she was three months old. She is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever known. When Rudy lost her human dad. She stopped eating and was never the same. Thankfully, I listen to my heart in a shelter dog temperature spirits. Rudy has traveled with me everywhere, Even a cross country move to the south. While living in Louisiana, Rudy almost died, but her spirit is strong! Currently, I’ve had to opinions regarding Rudy’s growth. Both vets say that it’s benign, But she’s a need a blood panel and surgery. The surgery to remove the entire growth on her snout, including all the cells requires a specialist. This cost us over $5000. This procedure also may affect her eating and drinking. The other option is to remove most of the growth by ‘debunking’ it. Rudy, is truly the sweetest and kindest dog I’ve ever known in my life. She loves everything and everybody. I’ve never met a dog with such a gentle spirit, and interest in cats and bunnies. She has been by my side for 14 years, through the loss of both our human best friend. Her gentle spirit reminds me everyday how lucky I am to have her in my life. I literally live paycheck To paycheck. The cost of this procedure is overwhelming. The growth continues to grow closer to her eye. This is a time sensitive matter. Please help me help my baby Rudy!
Joe
Joe is a 10-year-old Boxer in San Ramon, CA, who needs $1,784 for a mass removal.
San Ramon, CA
Joe is ten years old and hasn’t had an easy life. His most recent family adopted him from a rescue group a little over 2.5 years ago – we don’t know anything about his history before then. Joe’s family lost everything in the Camp Fire in November 2018. They had a home in Paradise, CA which was destroyed. Joe’s family is still trying to get back on their feet and unfortunately can no longer keep him. Joe was kept in several different boarding kennels after the fire and wasn’t doing well. He was very stressed, scared and unhappy in the kennel environment. Joe’s family wanted to do what is best for Joe and made the heart-wrenching decision to give him up rather than have him wait for them when they have no certainty of having a place to keep him. That’s where I came into the picture. I’m Joe’s foster mom. Many dogs who are stressed in kennels do really well once they are out of that environment, and I wanted to give Joe a chance. And guess what? It worked! Joe is a sweet, loving and playful dog and gets along well with my family- kids, dogs, and cats. But Joe also has trust issues – he is wary of people he doesn’t know which is making it more difficult for me to find him a new home. But I’m not giving up, and in the meantime, Joe has a few medical issues that need to be cleared up to help his chances of adoption. Joe was coughing up blood. I brought him to the vet and he was diagnosed with bronchitis, which we’re treating with medication. He also has two cancerous lumps (one is a mast cell tumor) on his back leg, which need to be removed to prevent them from spreading. That’s why I’m posting him here. I’m hoping to raise money to pay for Joe’s surgery.
