Give Meatball More Time: Donate for Surgery

Oh what a life you've given us, Meatball!

We were having to make a hard decision about Meatball and it was breaking my heart.

He has had several surgeries over the years for skin cancer.

He had surgery in April for a preputial mass, that has returned.

We took him to Fetch last week in Brandon and they are willing to do another surgery on him.

It will buy him some good time.

But after spending $1,000 on consult and diagnostics that day, it will still cost more than we could ever raise. ($4,800)

The rescue itself is struggling, so there are no funds for this.

He is still strong, sturdy, and stubborn.

But this mass is taking it's toll and he won't have much time left.

Meatball is an icon to the thousands of people that know him.

He has been my literal sidekick and personal protector in building PAW Warriors rescue over the past 10 years, and has been thru SO MUCH.

He has had to settle for "less" all these years as he gave his life to saving and.protecting countless lives from predators.

He can look intimidating with his MEAThead and strong stature... But being the carefree goofBALL that he is, Meatball instantly charms every person he meets.(hence the name meat-ball)

We just lost the other love of our lives, his constant companion of 12 years, Wiggle-but, last month.

I have personally been hit hard with compassion fatigue and had to take hiatus from the rescue, and haven't been as present for Meatball as he needed me to be during that loss and since his surgery.

Although all these years, Meatball never complained about so many others care taking precedence over him, he needs us NOW, but we just can't do this on our own.

When I posted about the decision we had to make because of financial reasons, several people messaged with desire to help.

We were able to get a surgery appointment on Sunday Morning , August 18, At FETCH BRANDON .

We prefer funds be called right to them!

If we don't raise enough by Sunday for his surgery , we'll keep trying until we do .

Meatball would like to see anyone and everyone that would want to take the time to come and see him !

Just send message ahead of time !

What an amazing life he has given us !

Thank you for helping to show him how much he is loved, how much we are loved!
