Lloyd Christmas is a 1-year-old Pitbull in Newport Beach, CA, who needs $2,000 for Hospitalization, Steroidal Injections, and Antihistamine Treatment.

I found Lloyd through an amazing woman that rescues dogs when he was 2 months old. He lives with me and his mother/my girl friend. He goes to work with me everyday . We go on a 2 mile walk every morning before heading into work and a 2 mile walk after work along with an hour at the dog park.

Lloyd wakes up every morning at 2am to help his mom get ready for work and to send her off with a hug. Two hours later him and I go on our walk then head to work. He loves dancing with us when we are cooking. He loves showing me all of his rope toys when we are sitting on the couch or laying down to go to sleep, where he shows all his kong toys and tennis balls to his mom.

In the early morning when he knows when the time is close to get ready for work, he will bring my work boots onto the bed and either drop them on my head or his moms. At the end of the day, when we get home from the dog park, Lloyd will go straight into the bath tub so that he can get his bubble bath. Lloyd loves letting my mom's chickens walk on him when he is laying down at her house.

Lloyd was stung by a bee. Noticing his reaction we took him to an emergency animal hospital where the on-staff vet had no idea it seemed like what he was doing recommended every test they offered except a steroid or antihistamine. Since then, His condition hasn't improved. He has hives all over his body, lack of appetite, diarrhea

The emergency hospital charged us $2500 for the "treatment" they provided and I am on a fixed income. It breaks my heart to see him in the condition he is in currently. He is the greatest thing that has come into my life and all I want is to see him smiling again
