Dino is a 11-year-old Shih tzu in Bristol , CT, who needs $1,100 for tumor removal.

Dino was a gift given to my sister when he was six months old. The breeder was not able to sell him due to his silly face (dino has a lazy eye and always with his tongue out) my family and i thought he was super cute and were happy to make him part of our family. this was 11 years ago now ! time does fly by.

Dino is a very energetic despite being 11 years old. he runs the house and i can honestly say he is the leader of our pact with his big attitude. he loves to sleep and goes on walk. he is my spirit animal. Dino loves people and always makes sure to greed everyone when we go visit other family members houses.

Dino is very mischievous he will try to run away and be on his own , the second you take off your eyes from him, he will try to take off. he is always being independent and although not allowed to be on his own, this does not stop him from trying. Dino is loved by many for his cat-like personality.

Dino started growing a small mass on his back about 8 months ago. this mass was very small at first but started growing with time, the last two months this tumor doubled in size. His veterinarian recommended removal as this will eventually affect Dino's quality of life. (sometimes is painful for him)

I have made sure Dino has the best care regardless of what is going on in my live (move or divorce) it will mean a lot to be continue providing the best care of him.
