Pip is my 6-year-old Boston terrier, and today we received heartbreaking news—he has cancer. For months, I took Pip to different vets, worried about a spot in his chest, but my concerns were often dismissed. It wasn’t until we found a new vet that we finally got answers, and now Pip needs urgent surgery to give him the best chance at recovery.

Pip isn’t just a pet—he’s family. We got Pip after my mother passed away from cancer, and he became the light our family needed during a dark time. He’s incredibly smart, kind, and has a special place in the hearts of our family, friends, and neighbors. Pip has been my loyal companion on road trips and the best listener when I needed someone to talk to. There are too many good memories to count, and I know there are so many more to make.

As a college student working toward my EMT certification, I’m facing a tough financial situation. Pip’s surgery and care are expensive, and we need help to cover the costs of anesthesia, surgery, biopsy, post-op care, and medications. Anything you can give to help Pip get the care he needs is deeply appreciated. Your support means the world to us during this difficult time.
