Sofie is a 9-year old Australian Shepherd that was diagnosed with canine fibrosarcoma in June, 2008. After surgery to remove the majority of the tumor, the vets at Northern California Veterinary Specialists recommended radiation therapy to ensure the best prognosis. Sofie’s owner/guardian is on a fixed income and made every effort to pay for the cost of treatment, but the radiation costs became too much to bear on her limited income.
Sofie and I just wanted to say thank you for the generous donation you made to her oncologist for her radiation treatments. When she was diagnosed with Fibrosarcoma I was devastated. This beautiful dog is my life–we have survived a head-on car accident together–why should I lose her to cancer? How could I lose her to cancer? I began searching the internet for information and came across the DCCFund website. I held my breath and applied for funding. I received so much love and support from you all, I could not believe it, and the check for $500.00 paid for the next part of her radiation treatments. If not for you she might not have been able to continue fighting the awful beast called cancer.
Again, thank you and the donors… you are angels. We will fight with the knowledge that there is hope; there are angels among us. You have restored my faith in humanity.
Fondly,
Suzy & Sofie
