Help Bruno Fight Cancer

Meet Bruno

Six years of unconditional love.

Bruno and Tatum are inseparable. Where one goes, the other follows. He's not just a dog—he's a best friend, a protector, a constant source of comfort through every hard day and quiet night.

Now Bruno has been diagnosed with lymphoma. He's still happy, still wagging his tail, still looking at us like nothing is wrong. That's what makes this so hard.

Bruno's Story

He Still Greets Each Day with Joy

Bruno doesn't know what lymphoma means. He just knows he wants to be close to us, to play, to rest his head in our laps. His spirit hasn't changed—and we're fighting to keep it that way for as long as we can.

We Can't Do This Alone

With only one income and no savings to fall back on, the cost of treatment feels impossible. We cancelled Christmas travel to stay by his side. We'd give anything for more time with him—but we need help to make it happen.

Every Day Counts

"The sooner we start, the more good days we get to keep."

Lymphoma moves fast. Early treatment can slow the disease and give Bruno more time—more walks, more naps in the sun, more moments together. Your donation goes directly toward:

Why We Need to Act Now

Canine lymphoma is treatable, but time is critical. With chemotherapy, dogs can live significantly longer with a good quality of life.

We've already lost precious time. It's been two weeks since we discovered Bruno's swollen lymph nodes—and they've tripled in size since then. The diagnostic testing had to be sent to Mexico City, which delayed the diagnosis. Every day without treatment, the cancer spreads.
