Cupid is a 16-year-old Maltese in Venice, FL, who needs $2,000 for emergency surgery.

Cupid's story will make you cringe! He is 16 years old and was discovered out wandering the streets by himself! Heart-wrenching! When Cupid ended up in an animal shelter the staff found he had been in their system before, that's how they confirmed his age.

But True and Faithful Pet Rescue made sure this senior dog got saved. Lisa L. from the group tells Waggle the poor pooch was a medical mess, "His teeth and gums are rotted, and he's also having some severe skin issues." Cupid is getting ready to have emergency dental surgery and his other health needs addressed at Huntley Animal Care.

It may be late in life for Cupid, but he deserves a second chance at a loving home and to live a life free of pain. Lisa says Cupid will make an excellent family member once he's fixed up, "He is just so sweet and very happy-go-lucky." True and Faithful Pet Rescue has made it their mission to help animals get the medical care they desperately need, and they are asking for donations to help pay for Cupid's veterinarian bills.
