Bailey is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu Terrier Mix in Eatontown, NJ, who needs $568 for treatment and pain management for scabs on his head, neck, and ears.

I am 67 years and I live alone. I don't get a lot of money from social security. I have had Bailey for 4 years now and I can't imagine life without him. He saved my life so many times and I thank God for him every day. I could not afford to give him all the things he needs to have a happy life, so I am asking YOU for help! I live in a one bedroom apartment, with a backyard that he plays in.

Bailey has a good life with me. If I don't eat, he does. I take him everywhere I go. He is a registered service dog. I am a Vet and have PTSD, and Bailey is my life line to get involved with people I don't know. He has a brother named Trouble, (a cat ). I have no family here so it's just me, Bailey and Trouble and they are a handful if you know what I mean, LOL!

After he gets to the Vet and gets treatment, I know I will be able to take care of him the right way. I am on a fixed income so I can't pay for all the treatment needed. Bailey is my baby, I cannot lose him!

Bailey has scabs on his head, neck, and ears. He has not been eating the last week or so. He can't get any sleep because he is scratching all the time . He does not want to play with his brother or his toys. Bailey is being seen at Shrewsbury Animal Hospital in Tinton Falls, NJ I pray that I can get the help he needs to come through this and be happy again! Bailey is three years old.

Bailey can make me smile when I don't want to. He stands on his back and dances for me, I call it his meerkat dance. When I am down, he can just look at me with his big brown eyes and it's like he is saying " MOMMY what is wrong, can I help " and I just MELT. I LOVE him so much! Please help me keep my dog! He saved my life when he let my next door neighbor know I stopped breathing . He barked!
