Help Harley Beat Cancer

Hi everyone, my name is Graham and I’m fundraising for my beautiful pup Harley. Harley is a 9-year-old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix with the sweetest soul and the biggest personality. She loves people, other dogs, hiking up mountains, running on beaches, and joining me on photography adventures. She’s full of energy, joy, and love — and she’s my best friend.

I adopted Harley 8 years ago after she was rescued from a heartbreaking situation — she had been found tethered with a bike lock around her neck and was terrified of everyone except me. It took a few months of patience and trust-building, but her true self eventually blossomed. Now she’s a happy, silly, world champion snuggler who lights up every room and trail she walks into. She still acts like a puppy, wanting to play fetch, chomp on sticks, go for a swim and run around in the forest.

Unfortunately, Harley was recently diagnosed with cancer, and it’s spreading. She has a tumor that’s shown signs of reaching her lymph nodes and under her spinal column. Surgery wasn’t an option due to the high risk of her becoming incontinent, so we’ve pursued every other treatment to give her the best quality of life. With everything she's been a superstar throughout:

• A sedated CT scan, multiple x-rays and biopsies

• 3 rounds of radiation therapy

• A long course of antibiotics, pain meds, and steroids

• Now starting chemotherapy (Palladia)

• Potentially additional radiation and ongoing medication

The current bills have reached nearly $20,000, and we’re looking at around $1,000/month in continuing costs for her care. I never imagined I’d be in this position, but I’m reaching out for help. Harley deserves every chance to keep living the happy, love-filled life she’s had for the last 8 years. These treatments are giving us lots of hope — and likely a few more years together, instead of just a few months as was initially diagnosed.

Every little bit helps: Whether it’s $5, $50, or simply sharing this page — your kindness means the world. All funds will go directly to covering Harley’s veterinary costs, medications, and cancer treatments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting Harley. She’s more than just a pet — she’s the only family I have and I’m doing everything I can to give her the time and quality of life she deserves.

With gratitude, Graham & Harley
