Milo is an 8-month-old Shih Tzu in Philadelphia, PA, who needs $2,000 for Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome in Dogs.

When Milo was 5 weeks old, we rescued him from on the side of the road and instantly I fell in love with him. He is funny and loving. Milo is my family. When the vet told me he had Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome in Dogs, my heart broke when she told me Milo can die. I cried for days I’m on disability I have lupus and really bad diabetes and I can’t take this pain. I got so used to Milo I wouldn’t know what to do without him.

Milo chokes a lot and struggles to breathe out his nose and it makes him throw up. Since he got diagnosed with Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome in Dogs, my world went upside down. I tried Care Credit and I got denied. I need help please. If you meet Milo you will fall in love. He is funny and adorable and I love playing catch with him. He waits for us when we go out he is my child he is my family and I love him.

I am disabled I have lupus and very diabetic. I’m a fall risk my right hand I had reconstructive surgery and can’t hold anything over 5 pounds. I need help. Please help me pay for Milo's surgery.

When Milo was 14 weeks old we took him to get his other set of vaccinations and to get a physical exam. The doctor came and sat next to me and she looked sad because she knows I’m disabled and how I rescued Milo. She looked at me and told me that Milo needed surgery before his 1st birthday because he has Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome in Dogs and that can cause heart failure and he can pass away. I cried.

Milo is special to me because he changed me. I never in my life had a pet. Milo is my first and let me tell you I fell in love instantly when I found Milo on the side of the road he looked at me and he stole my heart and since day one we got really close. I consider Milo as my son. My daughter calls him her baby brother. We love him. Please help us.
