UPDATE: Samuel and I want to thank everyone who has contributed and/or shared our Go Fund Me campaign. We were thrilled to see the outpouring of love from everyone! However we have a long road ahead..

Sam is scheduled for an Echocardiogram next month and we are in need of continued support. We've raised $4250 so far which has already been depleted on appointments, tests, and medications. We are almost halfway to our $10,000 goal!

We had three amazing veterinarian doctors on Sam’s team who adore him!

As we restart our fund raising effort we would appreciate any additional donations (no matter how small) and/or sharing of this post on all social medias.

Hi, my name is Billy and I'm fundraising for my doggie Samuel.

Samuel is more than just my pet; he is my family and my lifeline. He has been my best friend and constant companion, since we adopted him at the SFSPCA. He is Beagle, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Lab mix- a pure hound dog who is obsessed with treats and lots of love.

Samuel has been providing emotional support for me through my struggles with anxiety, depression, and tremendous grief over the loss of my partner. I would not have survived without Samuel. His gentle soul and kindred nature touches everyone he meets. He is the most lovable boy in the world, and he has a huge fan club in our neighborhood!

Samuel was recently diagnosed with a heart murmur, and during the exam the doctor also found a tumor in his lung that will require tests and most likely surgery. We need to raise $16,000 to cover Samuel’s medical expenses and ongoing care. I am a professional photographer, and my business has been struggling since the pandemic, and I have no savings.

We are desperately seeking help to fight for Samuel's life. The first step is an Ultrasound and that alone is $1550 - we need this right away, as time is of the essence. ANY CONTRIBUTION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

If you cannot make a donation, please please please share with your friends and family.

We are thankful for any support during this extremely difficult time. With your help, we are confident Samuel can win this fight and make a full recovery.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Billy and Samuel
