Help Gordito get his dental procedure— TAMPA, FL

My little Gordito is a white 3 year old shih tzu that was full of joy . He was a given to us by another owner that did not want him .He is the most precious thing you could come across with big beautiful eyes very energetic and with no care of personal space .

Every morning he loves looking through the window as the sun begins to slip through the curtains, my 3‑year‑old dog would trot into the bedroom with the same determined mission: to make sure we started our day smiling.

Some days it was a soft nudge of the nose against your hand. Other days it was a dramatic flop onto your chest, But the best mornings were the ones when he brought you his favorite toy and just wanted to play even if it was 7 am .

He loves chasing squirrels and 1 day he came back to play but this time we noticed a lump under his chin so we immediately took him to the vet and they stated it was a growth with no real danger so they cut it open drained the lump gave him stitches and sent us home with pain meds .After 2 weeks he was 'nt healed and had a black scab under his chin. We took him back and they lasered his wound which after 3 weeks nothing healed .After 3 months with different different vets i suggested for the vet to do an x-ray instead of going thru the suggested procedure of taking out his salivary glands .The x-rays came back with 2 infected molars and a hole in his jaw which my wife and i still don't know how it happened .Going forward now they stated we need a doggy dentist which in Tampa there only 1 that's does the procedure he needs by removing his infected molars and possibly attaching a metal plate just incase his jaw brakes . It is very heart breaking as he has no life in him anymore by being in pain ,My wife and have already spent $4500 on Care credit and this procedure would be another $ 4500 we will do what we can to try to get him help as he is too young to be put down .

Because he is full of joy and loves playing with his older 14 yr old brother LUKE

We need assistance to try to save his life as we have no other options with our financial situation at this point
