Max

Max is a 10-year old Shih Tzu with lymphoma.

He was otherwise healthy going into the diagnosis mid-September.  His owner found his lymph nodes a bit swollen after being groomed, but didn’t think much of it until he lost his appetite and a lot his usual energy.  That’s when his veterinarian referred the family to an oncologist.

Max is already 2 months into his 17-week chemo treatment plan.  He’s responding well and is reported to be in remission.  His owner has a very special relationship with the dog.  She’s had him since he was a puppy, calls him her “Baby” and couldn’t live with her conscience if she didn’t see this through, no matter what it takes.   Max is a lucky boy to be so loved!

Our Fund is still quite low, so we were only able to offer a small grant to Max.  We hope to get more donations during #GivingTuesday and over the holidays.  Please consider helping these wonderful dogs with a generous donation to the Pie Fund.
