Louie is a 8 year old Mix-Breed in Palm Springs, CA, who needs $2,000 for Dental Treatment - Teeth Extractions.

Louie came into my life when I went to Coachella Valley Animal Shelter in Thousand Palms. I already had a lab and husky, and he got along with them. I named him Louie, because the lab was Lucy and the husky was Luke. They would play together with the husky always talking and chasing everyone else. Unfortunately, the lab and husky both died of old age the last two years leaving Louie and me.

I am already dealing with a condition that requires ongoing treatment such as Louie's diabetes and allergies. He was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 4 years old. His eyes got smoky from cataracts and the vet did blood work and diagnosed him with diabetes. The main need now is extraction of some of his teeth to help his health and live a longer life. He's on pain meds until we get help.

Louie has a toy basket he gets his dolly's from to play. He loves to howl when hearing a siren on TV or outside. He'll run inside if it's raining harsh. He loves to cuddle and follow me everywhere though he's blind. Our bond gets stronger daily. I lost my daughter to leukemia, and he lost his family husky and lab to old age. All we have is each other to lean on for comfort and love.

I'm on a fixed income, plus I was working part time, but a drunk driver caused me to get disabled from a car accident over a year ago, depleting my emergency fund.
