Heineken is a 12-year-old Shih Tzu Mix in Commerce City , CO, who needs $1,300 for Extensive Dental Work.

I was a property manager and there were to be no pets on the property. The maintenance guy heard a tiny puppy wining. The tenant who lived at the apartment the wining was coming from was not home. When he returned home I asked to see the puppy.His response was what puppy The rest is history.

I've had him since he was 8 weeks old. He has never left my side and I have never left his except to go to work and he watches me out the window when I leave. He is a character for sure. He started playing with a plastic milk jug the kind that has a plastic handle on the top when he was about 2 mths old and still plays with one today. He loves all humans and animals.

I have 6 rescue cats, he follows them through the house. If they start scratching on the furniture he makes sure they stop doing it with his tattle tale bark. They stop and go the other way. He loves the tiny green tennis balls that squeak we have fun with those also. He also likes to bury new toys I bring him.He uses his nose to dig instead of his paws.

I haven't been in the best position. I was out of work before 2019 and couldn't keep up on his pet insurance. When I took him to get his dental cleaning there were other issues that popped up. They did his blood work and listened to his heart and discovered a heart murmur. They called and told me they weren't sure if they could proceed. It turned out ok.

I live alone and pay all the bills. It would mean the world to me to get my little guy where he needs to be dental wise.He's actually healthy besides the bone loss and gum disease.
It's really hard taking care of a house by yourself. I do the best I can.
