Maher is a 4.5 year old Tibetan Terrier in New York, NY, who needs $2,700 for Dental cleaning and tooth extraction.

Maher Harper Curran - also known as Mahersie, Maher Bear, Mahersala, Maher' Eats Oats, amongst other endearments - is a spunky, social 4.5 year old Tibetan Terrier living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Because of Maher, her mother has met more neighbors than she ever could imagine. Maher has become a fixture for children in the neighborhood to pet and request "paw" in exchange for a treat.

Maher's Mother thought she was being a wonderful mom and had been giving her those meaty (gross) dog bones that are in the frozen section of pet stores since it kept Maher busy and cleaned her teeth so well! Unfortunately, those bones can also cause a dog to chip a tooth, and that's exactly what happened. Maher has chipped/splintered one of her back molars. City Veterinary Care (220 W. 72nd St.)

Maher is a delight. Her young cousins always ask about her and love getting to take walks with her, play, and cuddle. Maher is a "dog's dog" and absolutely loooves being chased in the dog park and having playdates with her dog friends. She is known to make grumpy strangers crack a smile when they see her fun hair-do (a ponytail or pigtails) and her derpy tongue sticking out to the side.

This dental surgery (tooth extraction + dental cleaning) isn't covered by insurance and Maher's Mother has been hustling multiple odd jobs while applying to full-time work. This is an estimated $2700 expense. Luckily the tooth isn't infected but surgery needs to happen asap.
