Wedding Canceled for Dying Dog's Life-Saving Treatment
11 Jan
Summary
- Couple postpones wedding to fund their dog's cancer treatment.
- Dog requires at least $20,000 for radiotherapy and ongoing care.
- Wedding deposits of $3,500 are now on hold for the dog's health.
Lindsey Moore and Chris Bennett have made the difficult decision to cancel their wedding, planned for May 23, to focus funds on their ailing Labrador, Gus. The four-year-old dog has been diagnosed with an inoperable soft tissue sarcoma requiring extensive and costly treatment.
The couple, who consider Gus their child due to their own fertility struggles, face an estimated veterinary bill of at least $20,000. This includes $12,000 for a course of radiotherapy, plus monthly injections and other care amounting to $1,200 per month. They have already spent approximately $4,000 on initial diagnostics and care.
With wedding plans well underway and deposits totaling $3,500 already paid, the couple has put their nuptials on hold indefinitely. They have launched a fundraising page to help cover Gus's medical expenses, hoping for support from fellow dog lovers during this challenging time.
