My name is Dante Fiorello, and my dog has a large tumor in his esophagus along with severe bladder complications. After multiple vet visits, scans, and consultations, I was told that he needs surgery as soon as possible. Without it, euthanasia is the only option. He’s always been the happiest, most patient, most loving brother out of the three French bulldogs I own. He’s the dog who waits by the door when I’m gone, who curls up next to me during the hardest moments, who made every version of “home” feel like home. He doesn’t understand what’s happening.

The surgery and immediate care he needs will cost $8,000, an amount I simply cannot cover on my own as a full-time student. I’ve emptied what I have, applied for every payment plan, and looked into every option, but I’m out of time and out of ways to do this alone.

Asking for help is something I’ve always struggled with, but I can’t lose him without knowing I fought for him with everything I had. If you’re able to donate anything, truly, even a few dollars, it would bring me closer to giving him a real chance at life. If you aren’t able to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much. Thank you.
