Hi - My name is Vanessa. I am fundraising for my amazing neighbor's 14 year old Shih Tzu mix. He has a large tumor that needs to be surgically removed. His owner has been working so hard to save up. The mass has started to worsen so she does not have as much time to earn the necessary funds. She is, unfortunately being affected by the writers' strike. She is so kind and selfless - she always watches my own pup when I have to travel and expects nothing in return. If we need anything - she is there. Haku is the sweetest pup and because he is a senior dog needs more care when it comes the removal of the mass. He will need an EKG before the surgery which is $700 and the rest will go towards the procedure itself. Please help us make his life better and spare him from complications of this tumor.
