Nuke is an adopted rescue XL Bully with cancer

Donation protected
Hi there My name is Sam and I'm raising funds for my XL Bully called Nuke. He has been with the RSPCA for about 5 years as he was rescued from the worst of conditions. After a long cruelty case in which the rspca prosecuted the owner for neglect and brutalising him, cropping his ears and practically starving him, Nuke was saved. Despite being regularly promoted our Nuke was overlooked repeatedly for adoption at the RSPCA. After being diagnosed with testicular cancer Nuke was treated and has since had repeated skin cancers. Almost 3 years ago this handsome boy came to my attention and after persuading my family, we applied to foster him and he has lived with us ever since. WIth constant support from our local RSPCA all of Nuke's medical needs were covered and we provided him with the home this wonderful boy has always deserved, we couldn't love him more, Nuke is so gentle and loving and we would be lost without him! All going swimmingly well, right?!...Unfortunately no, as you all know the government has implemented a ban on this beautiful breed and as a result we were told Nuke could not remain in foster care any longer but he could not return to the kennels either and the options were adoption or euthanasia. Of course, there was no decision to be made and adoption proceedings were put in to place that very day. Sinc then Nuke has passed all of his assessments with flying colours, behaving just like the true gent that he is. To be honest, he always has had his forever home with us as we had agreed to this when we initially fostered him for palliative care and to everyones amazement he improved but nobody expected this little hero to thrive in his new home and go from strength to strength. Really and truly no one expected him to survive 3 months never mind 3 years, but he is a true survivor and while he battles on so will we.
Unfortunately because of his medical history we cannot get any medical insurance and we are not a rich family by any stretch of the imagination. So, I implore anybody that sees our story to please please donate if you can, even the smallest amount could make a big difference. If you could also share it would be greatly appreciated. Let's all pull together to give this brave, happy, beautiful soul of a dog the best of chances to stay healthy for as long as is possible because he does live a full life and although expensive, his surgeries are skin related and he recovers quickly. This boy is worth fighting for and until we get advise to the contrary from his medical team fight on we will.
I thank you kindly for reading my story.
Sam
