Loki has a lump! Help us find out what it is!
Tax deductible
9/16/20 UPDATE:
We’re home and have excellent news! Loki had his CT scan and it looked totally normal. He just has a big lumpy skull with the excellent CT scan results, the doctor recommended that we forego the biopsy. Which also means a lower vet bill! With this happy update, I’m going to close this fundraiser as we now have the funds we need. Thank you all for donating and sharing and helping me make sure my Loki has the vet care he needs. And big thanks to Harriet and Red Hook Dog Rescue for always being such a great source of support!
Red Hook Dog Rescue can always use donations. If you would still like to donate to help special needs dogs in New York City, please follow this link! https://www.redhookdogrescue.org/donate

Loki is my sweet baby boy who has seen me through the most difficult phase of my life. I started fostering him at the beginning of the pandemic and fell completely in love. Those of you who follow me on social media know how obsessed I am with him. He's playful, smart, affectionate, and full of personality. He is truly part of my family. Loki is still a foster through Red Hook Dog Rescue, a special-needs rescue helping save NYC's most at risk dogs: seniors, blind, deaf, amputee, etc. And RHDR/Harriet Zucker has been an incredible resource and source of support throughout this journey.
Loki has had some health difficulties during our time together; he was diagnosed with puppy strangles a few weeks in and went through several rounds of prednisone before that finally resolved. After that settled down, I discovered a lump on the left side of his forehead, which I originally chalked up to the strangles but now seems to be a separate issue. An x-ray revealed very little, except that it is cause for concern. Harriet and I took him to see a specialist at Animal Medical Center. They want to do a biopsy and a CT scan as they believe there is a chance it could be something more serious; possibly a fungal infection, or cancer. Or maybe not! But we won't know until we get in there.
Unfortunately the estimate is $2,445. We have raised $350 so far. Loki continues to be under the care of Red Hook Dog Rescue, but that amount far outstrips their financial capacity, especially as they have many other special-needs dogs to care for. Loki is only 10 months old and we want him to have a long, happy, healthy life! Anything you can contribute toward this vet bill would be incredibly helpful. All donations are going to Red Hook Dog Rescue, a 501c3 nonprofit, and are therefore tax-deductible. I will post updates about Loki's journey and progress along the way!
