Blue is a 11-year-old Shih Tzu in Wallingford, CT, who needs $2,000 for Liver Tumor Removal.

Blue came into my life when I was just 12 years old and we have been inseparable since. He is my best friend, and I was living out of state for 2 years but I put so much money in every few months just to come visit him. He was always there for me through the hardest moments of my life, when I felt like I had no one else. Genuinely, he is the reason I am still alive today.

Blue is a little grumpy guy, but he is so loveable. He will always roll over for pets, bark when he wants to play, and will always sit right next to you when he wants company. He isn't much of a lap dog, but he loves for you to lay your head on him like he is your pillow. He loves squeaky toys and will squeak them until they can't squeak anymore.

He is genuinely so funny. He runs in circles and barks for everything and anything. He snorts like a little pig. He growls but wags his tail at the same time, so he isn't angry, that's just how he talks to you. He will sniff you as a kiss, and he likes to have conversations back and forth with you. He has a teddy bear he has slept with every night since he was a puppy.

Blue's situation was a sudden emergency on the 11th of December, 2022. He suddenly yelped and passed out, and I got the phone call immediately and dropped everything to fly back home. He either had a seizure or passed out from pain. At the hospital, they found he had fluid in his abdomen, and a tumor on his liver. They recommend surgery.

My parents can hardly pay their rent and they used their rent money for the month to pay for the emergency vet bill. My job does not pay much either, but I dropped every single dime I had to be able to be by his side. My boy needs to live a full, comfortable life.
