I recently adopted Capone, a senior dog, who spent a year and a half in the shelter before finally finding his way home. He’s a sweet, gentle soul who has already been through so much, and I want to give him the comfort and care he deserves in his golden years.

Capone has two dermal masses that need to be surgically removed — one on his face and one on his hip. His surgery is scheduled for January 5, and the total cost of the procedure is $906. I’m not asking for the full amount, but I am humbly asking if anyone is able to help with any amount at all. My funds are stretched very thin right now, and even the smallest contribution would make a meaningful difference for Capone’s health and comfort.

To be as transparent as possible, I’ve included the veterinary estimate, photos of Capone, and the clinic’s information below so you can see exactly what the donations would be used for.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this post or keeping Capone in your thoughts means just as much. Thank you for taking the time to read and for any kindness, support, or encouragement you’re able to offer. Capone and I are truly grateful.
