Give Braxton a Chance for a Pain-Free Life

Hi, my name is Jo Rodriguez. I’ve never been one to ask for help — I’ve always tried to carry things on my own. But right now, I’m facing something I can’t handle alone.

My dog Braxton — my best friend, my rock, my soul dog — has been diagnosed with aggressive mast cell tumors. They’re spreading quickly. On top of that, he’s also dealing with a painful CCL tear in his leg. The cost of his treatment, including surgery and radiation, is estimated to be between $10,000 and $15,000.

I’ve been saving every bit I can, and we’re preparing to start radiation soon. But the costs are overwhelming, and I’m humbly asking for any help — whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply keeping us in your thoughts.

Braxton has been with me through everything — the highs, the heartbreaks, the hardest years. He’s saved me more times than I can count. Now, I just want to give him the chance to live longer, pain-free, and surrounded by love. He’s been with me through all of my 20s, and I want so badly for him to be part of my 30s too.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping us in any way you can. Your support means more than I can ever express.
