Rita's Surgery for Liver Cancer

Hi, my name is Kacie and I am raising money for my dog's surgery. Her name is Rita and she is the biggest sweetheart. Her favorite thing to do is play ball and cuddle anybody who will let her. She howls when she's excited and wants nothing but love and affection. Rita was my boyfriend's dog. His name is Dane and he had her since the day she was born and she was the biggest daddy's girl you could ever meet. Unfortunately, Dane passed in July 2017 and I have taken it very hard. I have had anxiety and depression my entire life and when Rita and Dane came into my life, they made things better and loved me either way. She is the biggest support to me in ways I could never put into words. She has a way of calming me that I could not imagine life without. I have been making sure Rita is happy and healthy since his passing, but she has now been diagnosed with liver cancer. Something that could not have been prevented unless I had done an ultrasound on her, which there was no sign indicating that she needed to have one done. The vet is confident that if she has the surgery, it will add years to her life. If she does not get the surgery, it's likely that she will pass away or need to be put down before the year is over. At any moment, she could start uncontrollable bleeding, which will either cause her death itself or force me to put her down. Rita is in every other way as healthy as can be and you can't even tell by looking at her that she has cancer. She shows me unconditional love and strength.  I have put down two dogs this year (due to diseases) and lost my best friend since 4th grade just three weeks ago. I can not lose another love. Rita is my registered emotional support dog. I am begging you to help me raise money for her surgery. The surgery is about $3,500 but I am asking for $4,000  to help compensate for the fees that come with GoFundMe. She will also need ultrasounds every 3-6 months to make sure the tumour doesn't come back. So any additional donations are immensely appreciated as well and will be used towards her health. I have spent $1,000 in the last 24 hours to get her diagnosed and I am unable to afford any additional expenses. The surgery needs to be done as soon as possible so I have no way of trying to earn that money on my own. Please help me take care of my babygirl and keep her here with me. She is always right by my side. I can't even use the bathroom without her wanting to be right at my feet. I can not imagine life without her. Thank you for your time and consideration.
