asking for help as we prepare for Mya’s surgery to remove a golf ball size tumor from her leg, and because of the location of the tumor. The veterinarian says it's very difficult to remove and it has to be done by a specialist because of the chance of it being wrapped around ligaments, tendons, arteries and so forth. It's on her front leg at her wrist area, we have scheduled a consultation and same day surgery in Overland Park Kansas. That is the location of the veterinarian clinic hospital. It is the closest board certified veterinarian surgeon to us. December 16, 2026.

Mya is only 3 1/2 years old, and she means so much more to me than words can fully express, she has the kindest, and most gentle soul of any dog I've ever known. She is such an amazing animal. I cannot imagine her not being here anymore. We have several other animals, but she is very close to and I don't know what we would do if something was to happen to her. She loves the cats just as much as she loves us. They are her buddies and she's very protective of them. She loves to sleep with them, cuddle with them, and play even though she's never had puppies. She is definitely the mama dog type. She makes them behave, she puts them in line, and she gets onto them when they're misbehaving, it's quite comical, she is their mama, she is as protective and loving and supportive to all of our other babies.
This is especially hard because four years ago, we lost Ava, another dog of the same breed, to cancer she was 14 and it spread faster than we could fight it. Her losing that battle was absolutely devastating for our family. Facing this again with Mya it is absolutely terrifying far too many memories, feelings, and pain being brought back. We want to do everything possible to support her through surgery and recovery. Not only for Mya but her brothers as well they would be lost with out her.

Donations will help cover the specialist, travel, surgery, and post-op care. Having your support would make it possible for us to focus on getting Mya through this surgery and the care that comes after it.

If you’re able to give or share this fundraiser, it would mean so much to me and Mya. Thank you for helping us through this difficult time. Let's save another dog from cancer. One dog at a time.
