Freddy is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu in Roanoke, VA, who needs $1,200 for treatment for infection and leg amputation.

Freddy was brought in by animal control with a severely matted foot. he was able to walk and was all tail wags, but something was just not right. An awful smell wafted from him and filled our entire upstairs, and his little legs were dense with matted fur.

After his sedation set in, the clippers came out and we discovered the cause of the smell- he had such horrific and extensive mats on his legs that they had literally almost severed his foot off. We attended to the mass infection immediately, and shaved his other legs down along with the rest of him. Underneath the filth we found a lovely little fellow, who we now call Freddy Biscuit.
