Archie is a 10 year old Mix-Breed in San Diego, CA, who needs $2,000 for Full Mouth Extractions to Clear Serious Infection.

Meet Archie, aka Arky, officially Archibald Theodore. Archie is a senior rescue who was found abandoned in Tijuana and brought to San Diego to find a forever home. Enter: me.

Three years ago, I met this boy and my life changed. I have no doubt in my mind that we were always meant to find each other. The bond we share extends beyond species and time, and defies all odds. We are simply meant to be.

Archie came with a lot of medical issues. As an older boy who had to fend for himself for so long, he has Cushing's disease, heart disease, and a thyroid disorder. Because he ate rocks to survive when he was on his own, his teeth are rotting in his mouth and it has created a serious infection in his nose. His existing conditions make him a complicated candidate for surgery, requiring a specialist.

Archie and I have been a family for three beautiful years. I've done everything I can to give him the best chance at the life he always deserved to have. His hair grew back when his Cushing's got under control, the little light in his soul turned on when his thyroid was treated, and his heart murmur has not worsened. Archie deserves to finally live without pain, and experience unconditional love.

Because he's a senior rescue, Archie doesn't quality for insurance. This is a massive expense on top at once, on top of his regular care (~$300/mo on meds). Despite the health troubles, adopting a senior dog has been more rewarding and fulfilling than I ever imagined.
