Meet Keno, a remarkable pit bull who has triumphed over adversity and captured the hearts of his loving family, Lauren and Jaime Roggenkamp. Adopted in 2019, Keno's journey from a traumatizing past to a life of love and care is truly heartwarming. Rescued from a life of cruelty as a bait dog, he emerged battered and bruised on the streets of Brooklyn. However, his story took a positive turn when Lauren and Jaime, upon learning about his plight through a pit bull rescue site, promptly brought him into their home the very next day. Keno quickly established himself as the beloved centerpiece of their lives and their closest companion.
Despite enduring unimaginable hardships, Keno's remarkable resilience shines through in his trusting and affectionate nature. He wasted no time in forming strong bonds with those around him, displaying his remarkable capacity for forgiveness and love. He found his forever family in Lauren and Jaime, becoming a cherished member of their household. Notably, Keno's gentle disposition and playful spirit have left an indelible mark on all those fortunate enough to cross paths with him. His joyful presence is especially adored by his human baby sister, Elle, further emphasizing his endearing character.
Unfortunately, a recent medical discovery has cast a shadow over Keno's journey. A cancerous tumor was detected on his foot, necessitating the amputation of his toe and extensive further testing. The financial burden of these necessary treatments is substantial, underscoring the urgency of the situation. As Keno embarks on this challenging road to recovery, the Roggenkamp family is determined to provide him with the best care possible, ensuring he can continue spreading his love and joy for many years to come.
The Roggenkamp family extends a heartfelt plea for support during this trying time. Donations, no matter the size, will be greatly appreciated as they work towards securing Keno's well-being. The depth of their love and commitment to Keno is unwavering, and any assistance received will contribute to the ongoing care, treatment, and hopeful recovery of this beloved four-legged family member.
