Help Apollo, the Spotless Dalmatian, Get a Surgery He Needs

Hi, my name is Briana, and this is Apollo—lovingly known as Mister to everyone who adores him. Apollo is a Dalmatian born without spots, but what he lacks in markings, he makes up for in endless love. He’s more than just a pet—he’s the best companion I’ve ever had, and I’m determined to give him a long, happy life filled with his favorite things: kisses, middles, and, of course, plenty of snacks.

Recently, though, a small growth on his chest has grown significantly. While the vet initially thought it was just a skin tag, it has since become much larger, and its weight is starting to affect his daily life. My once playful and energetic boy has stopped playing, and now he’s even refusing to eat—something that’s very unlike him. A few months ago, the growth became inflamed and filled with blood, causing him pain and discomfort. I’ve been living in fear of it happening again, knowing how much it hurts him.

The vet has recommended surgery to remove the growth and run tests to ensure it isn’t something more serious, but the estimated cost is $3,000—an amount I simply cannot afford on my own. I’ve explored every option I can, but I don’t qualify for CareCredit, and I have nowhere else to turn.

That’s why I’m asking for your help. Apollo means everything to me, and seeing him in pain breaks my heart. Any amount you can contribute would mean the world to us. Even if it’s just a few dollars, it will go a long way toward helping me give him the care he needs to live the happy, healthy life he deserves.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story, and please know that every bit of help is deeply appreciated. I promise to give Mister some extra kisses from all of you.

With love and gratitude,

Briana & Apollo
