Houston is a 1-year-old Yorkie Mix in Richmond, VA, who needs $2,000 for Intestinal Obstruction.

Houston name came from my girlfriend and I taking our first trip to Houston. We had an amazing time and when we chose to get a dog, we named him Houston because of how much we loved Houston. Houston will be 2 in June. He is the only pet in our household and he has the best personality.

Houston is the happiest dog. He greets everyone soon as they walk in with hugs and kisses. Houston is the highlight of our day and he is know to make us smile when we need it the most. Houston can be sneaky like any other child but he enjoys playing with his toys, taking walks and playing with children.

Houston is special because of the joy he brings to our family. Houston is loved by both sides of the family and he has become a nephew, cousin and grandson. Houston loves attention and will growl at you if you take too long to acknowledge him. Houston has a presence that completely feels the room.

Houston is suffering from an intestinal blockage. Houston has been sick for almost 10 days and during that time he hasn’t eaten, barely drinks his water and has no energy. Houston is severely dehydrated due to not wanting to drink or eat. After taking him to the vet , we were given limited details due to lack of finances. Houston hasn’t had a bowel movement in 4 days. Surgery has been recommended.

I am on a fixed income and cannot afford the out of pocket cost for the treatment that he needs. Due to my limited income I am hoping to receive donations to help save his life. Houston has become our child and our home hasn’t been the same since he has become ill.
