Daisy is a 17.5-year-old Bichon in Bradenton, FL, who needs $500 for Dental.

Little Daisy was a rescue. I was supposed to foster her but I couldn’t send the 9 pound wonder away. Now, 15 years later, I am a disabled woman, caring for my 45 year old son with Downs. We left Massachusetts after my Mother passed away. Money is so tight. We barely get enough from SS & SSI to makes ends meet. Our dogs are our stress relievers. We adore them and I would go hungry to feed them.

Teddy and Daisy are extremely attached to both myself and my oldest son I’m usually up early so the dogs sit outside my son’s room and act pathetic until he gets up. My son is a 45 year old son with Downs. He is so gentle and loving to these dogs. He had several chores revoked around pet care and he takes pride and gets a. Boost to his self esteem to take care of them. These dogs are our lives.

Teddy is know to jump into anyone’s lap and go belly up for rubs. He’s a lover and loves anyone. Teddy is my Emotional Support Doge. He’s great. I’m never alone in any room in our home. Wherever I go, they all follow along. Imagine trying to get around three dogs in a 4”X 10ft bathroom. To me, they are hilarious.

Daisy has the worst teeth. She’s 6 lbs and is 17.5 years old. The doctors have assured me that they can get her teeth cleaned. I’m terrified, we will lose her because of her age. Her teeth are horrible and I do not have a spare dime for anything. Thank goodness she is a healthy old lady.

We live off SS and SSI. Everything is getting so expensive and our checks remain the same. We live from paycheck to paycheck. We love our dogs and I worry so much that something may happen and we won’t be able to help pay for emergency care.
