McGee is a 8-year-old Poodle mix in Reno, NV, who needs $535 for dental care.

We rescued this sweet little guy from a rough family when he was a puppy. He'll be 9 in January. We named him Very Special Agent Timothy Farragut McGee. We live in a mobile home in a park and he owns all the furniture, his beds, and our beds. He's my emotional support dog. He loves sweaters, Greek yogurt, and bananas.

He loves everyone in the family. There's three of us, four if you ask McGee. He thinks he's people. He gets lots of love and outside time, but he is a homebody. He gets groomed every four months and loves his groomer. I've trained McGee to sit, stay, sit pretty, lay down, crawl, roll over, and play dead with words, numbers, and hands signals. He's stubborn when he doesn't want to. He's very loved.

McGee is so funny! When you give him a treat, he goes to bury it and just ends up nosing invisible dirt over it. When he wants attention, he pushes up your pant leg or the sleeve of your shirt with his cold nose, followed by a lick. When he has a bowel movement, he sort of "walks" until he's finished, and then he'll come inside and run zoomies.

McGee is generally healthy all around, but the vet does say that he needs some dental work. He's at great weight for his size and he eats and drinks well. He's neutered, microchipped, and licenced. The vet clinic he goes to is called Options Veterinary Care. The name of his doctor has escaped me. But she's awesome.

Our family is on a fixed income. Without help, I'm unable to get my sweet McGee the care that he deserves. He's my best friend. He knows when I'm depressed and when I'm manic. He helps me calm myself, and most importantly, he makes me happy.
