Help Dior get Mass tumor removal

Meet Dior Dior is a beautiful, 6.5-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix who has been the center of my world since the very day she was born. I have watched her grow from a tiny puppy into the gentle, loving soul she is today. Dior has spent her entire life bringing endless joy, loyalty, and comfort to our family. Because she had a litter of puppies and was spayed later in her adult life, she is now facing a serious health battle that puts that beautiful life at risk. The Medical Emergency During a recent veterinary checkup, a firm, lobulated mass was discovered in Dior’s left caudal mammary gland. The mass has grown firmer and more concerning since her previous exam. Her veterinarian performed a fine-needle aspiration, but the fluid sample was non-diagnostic. Because of the mass's physical characteristics and Dior's reproductive history, her medical team is highly concerned about mammary carcinoma—a very aggressive form of canine breast cancer. She is deeply devoted to the children in our family, acting as their loyal protector and gentlest playmate. If she isn't watching over the kids, you can always find her curled up next to us—she absolutely loves snuggles and thrives on affection. Because she raised a litter of puppies and was spayed later in her adult life, she is now facing a terrifying health battle that threatens the life we have built together. The Plan to Save Dior We cannot afford to wait. Her recovery matters more than words can say because our home simply would not be the same without her compassionate spirit and daily snuggles. The definitive next step to save Dior's life is immediate surgical removal of the mass so it can be sent to a lab for a histopathology biopsy. To make sure she can safely handle anesthesia, Dior must first undergo pre-operative diagnostics, including a full blood panel and an electrocardiogram (EKG). How You Can Help Dior has given us unconditional love for her entire life, and we are determined to stand by her now. However, the sudden cost of pre-op diagnostics, major surgery, and biopsy fees is overwhelming. Every single donation goes directly to Dior’s veterinary clinic to pay for her life-saving care. Please consider donating or sharing our campaign—your kindness gives our sweet, kid-loving girl the fighting chance she deserves to grow old with the family that loves her so much.
