Hazel is a 10 year old Shih Tzu in Tamarac , FL, who needs $3,500 for Cataract Surgery.

After losing two of my Shih Tzus just eight weeks apart, my heart was heavy—but then Hazel came into my life. A breeder I had worked with offered her to me when she was six years old. Now, at 10, Hazel isn’t just a pet—she’s my best friend and my Service Animal, helping me every single day in ways I can’t put into words.

About nine months ago, Hazel started developing cataracts—one eye progressed faster than the other, and now both eyes are fully affected. My vet says this is actually a good outcome for her and that surgery can help her regain much of her vision.
We have an ophthalmologist price for both 7500. I’ve been researching found a place in Virginia both 3500.

Hazel is incredibly special to me. She isn’t just a pet—she’s my best friend, my Service Animal, and my constant companion. She provides me with emotional support every single day, filling my life with love, comfort, and joy. She’s affectionate, loyal, and we travel everywhere together, sharing every moment of life side by side.

I’m retired and living on a fixed income, which makes it impossible for me to afford the procedures on my own. I’m reaching out for help because I want to give Hazel the care she deserves so she can continue to be the loving, bright soul she’s always been. Every donation and
