Long story short, my dog has a prostate/bladder tumor and I am doing my best to find a way to treat him. The best treatment available is low dose radiations five to seven days a week for a month. This may give him another year to a year and a half of nearly normal life with little discomfort and minimal pain.

The only thing is this treatment costs $13,000 which I do not have. Is gofundme still the best option? I would be setting things up for my mom who is the one currently in care of my dog. Is there any tax penalty for raising this much money? I want to help as much as I can so my dog can have the best....I owe him that for as long or as little as he has left...even if I cant physically be there.

That being said, my mom said she'd be posting (my dog) Obie's end of life journey on instagram. If you'd like to follow him and her there his account is: obiegoes
Please be aware my mom is not the best at providing trigger warnings for things so there are pictures from my dog's knee srugery and recovery on there. But if you want to see my sweet boy that's where you'll find some good images of him.

Anyway, please please, if anyone has any insight or recommendations Id love to hear it. I want to get this going as soon as possible to relieve my mom's stress over this whole ordeal.
