We rescued Clifford from a kill shelter in GA in 2013. He had a very rough start in life until he came to NJ when he was about 9 or 10 months old. He was adopted by a wonderful family in the fall of 2013 and immediately became a cherished member of this family of 4 and with a fur sibling, too. In 2014, the same family adopted another dog from us and she is also very loved. Clifford is a big, goofy boy who is happy to see everyone and simply loves life. You can't help but smile when he's in your presence.
Cliff's mom and dad noticed his urine had some blood in it. They took him to the vet and, at first the vet thought he might be passing a kidney stone because all of his tests were showing that everything was fine. He was back to normal for a short while until recently his parents noticed blood in his urine again. An ultrasound was done and it showed an 11mm mass on his kidney which the doctor is sure is cancerous. The recommendation is removal of his kidney ASAP.
This blow comes after an exceptionally difficult year for this family. Mom has been out of work for a year due to a medical condition and they have faced some serious challenges. Before their difficulties began, they were always tremendous supporters of our rescue group and gave very generously. So, for Cliff AND because I believe that paying it forward is always a wonderful thing, I hope we can come together to help Cliff's family get him the surgery he needs very soon so that he can enjoy many more years of being happy and goofy.
The funny thing is that through all of this, no one would know that this sweet, happy boy is sick. He has been his goofy, loving self all along and he probably doesn't even know he's sick. At the very least, please share this fundraiser and keep Clifford and his family in your prayers.
