Hello, my name is Doug and this little guy here is Juno. Juno is an equal part of this family and he means more than life to me. Juno is my main sidekick in life as he saved me and I saved him. I rescued Juno when he was 7 weeks old from a group of nasty people who were breeding and selling pit bulls illegally on Craigslist and were running a dog ring working out of an old apartment building in Sussex NJ. I ended up helping bust 6 people and helped save 22 dogs including 6 baby pitbull terriers (which my boy Juno was part of) as one of the officers let me keep him. I would take Juno EVERYWHERE with me as he is my co-pilot and eventually, I started working long hours and wouldn't be able to take him everywhere like I used to but I would check my cameras every hour to check up on him and started to notice he developed "seperation anxiety". I felt so horrible about it that I ended up adopting a female pitbull/shar pei mix I named Athena so he could have a friend and not feel lonely when I'm at work or out. Now Juno and Athena are best friends that do EVERYTHING together and have to be touching each other and under the covers next to me to go to sleep at night otherwise they have serious issues falling asleep as do I. Juno and Athena saved me during a very very dark time in my life when In 2014 I lost my dad to cancer in my arms while wiping his mouth, 1 month later I found my sister dead of an overdose in her bed, 2 months after that my best friend since kindergarten passed to an overdose, and 4 months after that I lost my grandma to an aneurysm. My mom ended up getting sick then and we were both dealing with a lot on top of all this and spiraled down. I later got diagnosed with severe PTSD, anxiety, depression, and insomnia on top of having severe textbook adhd. My mom and I were so depressed she couldn't stop eating and ended up becoming 326lbs and wouldn't leave her recliner and just wanted to sleep. I stayed in my room and was barely eating and was heading down a dark path. But I woke up one day and realized I needed to be strong for my mom and my dogs as my dogs were for me when I would want to be left alone they would follow me everywhere and sit there and lay their heads on me and lick me and when I would finally go to sleep during those dark times I would wake up to them with their heads on my neck and chest sleeping. Their unconditional love and not leaving me alone played a huge role in helping me feel again when I was so numb. So I finally got up and fought for my life and my moms and now she lost all her weight and is in the gym at 75 years old and I couldn't be more thankful for my dogs and that I still had my mom with me! Juno is now suffering from multiple cancerous tumors on his neck, right side hip, and multiple massive (Mammary Tumors) including one on his chest that growing fast as well as a tumor in his liver and needs a (Total Liver Lobectomy) along with blood transfusions, chemo, advanced imaging, FNA biopsy, and a long road to recovery. As I said this Dog is a family member and has been through EVERYTHING with me! I love him more than life and can't lose him or Athena! I would sell everything I own to pay for Juno's surgery and if it comes down to that I will have no hesitation! My care one emergency pet card will only cover about $2,800 of the total cost! I will do anything to save this dog's life if I lose him It won't just be me devastated but my mom and my other dog Athena as well and the house will never be the same. Please help donate for Juno's surgery It will mean so much and I will be so grateful for your help even if it's like $2 anything helps! This is my first go fund I never imagined doing something like this nor do I want to but this dog means more than the world to me so please again anything will help! And if you can't donate that's perfectly fine thank you for taking the time out to read my story Thank you!
