Pepper is my soul pup, traveling with me since I was 17. He’s followed me from Louisiana, to Alaska, to New Mexico and has been a furry shoulder for me to cry on for almost 7 1/2 years. Recently, we took him to the vet, and they said he needs a dental cleaning ASAP and to remove a bump that could be potentially cancerous to be sent off for diagnosis - the bump is too small to simply take cells but the vet is suspecting that it is skin cancer. Hopefully, it is benign. Due to his age, they believe this all needs to happen in one go as to not put him at risk undergoing multiple anesthetic treatments. Currently, as I’m sure you all know, the world is rough and unpredictable and I do not have the funds it would take to cover these procedures. If you are able or willing, please donate to help keep my baby alive and healthy. It would mean the world to me and Pepper both to be able to have more years together to explore.
