Help Save Mums Companion Dog from Operable Cancer

Last year my Dad passed away five days before his 65th birthday, leaving my Mum and their little black doggo, Jasper to keep each other company. Jasper is a poo-chin - that is, a Poodle, Japanese Chin cross.

Jasper is a great wee friend to Mum and acts as her eyes and ears on the ground (quite low to the ground in his case), announcing visitors and protecting Mum on their regular short walks.

He was deeply affected by Dads passing, and together they hold on.

Mum recently found a lump on Jaspers leg, and the vet confirmed it to be a sarcoma (cancer). In order to ensure he remains well, it needs to be excised immediately. Mum is not however in a position to cover the costs of the treatment and post-surgical care.

We are hoping to raise $1900, which should (unless further disasters unfold) cover the costs of the pre-surgery blood-work, a chest x-ray (to ensure the cancer has not spread into his lungs), and a further test (the name of which I didnt catch) to ensure that the surgery has the best chance of success, the surgery itself, post-care and prescriptions, and transport to and from the vet, as my Mum cannot drive.

Mum agreed to let me try this as a last resort, as she believes the platform is meant for people in more need than her, however I know how much Jasper means to her, and how much he has helped her through the grieving process. I also know that Mum will need to go into debt to pay for the vet bills as she doesnt have the means to fund this otherwise.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
