About this campaign

Skink was a "backyard" breeding dog, facing euthanasia. His entire life was spentin a kennel, only allowed out for breeding purposes. Had never been to a vet, never had human affection and had limited interaction with humans and other dogs. It took me over a month to get him to trust me enough to come to me and not hide. Everything single part of our day was a scary mess for him.

Mr Skink's name actually came about from the fact his teeth are rotted and infected causing a horrible odor. After his first visit with the vet, it was determined that most of his teeth are needing to be removed, and sedation is going to be required. His vet is at the Country Animal Hospital in Neenah.

Mr Skink is the most amazing pup I've ever owned. When he came home back in December he was malnourished weighing only a half pound. In time, I've watched him grow emotionally, and enjoy every part of life he can, especially going outside! Except he isn't able to eat much due to his dental pain. I have to puree his food, and I'm afraid the infection could spill into his blood stream causing sepsis

I do work, and thru my job am able to cover his insurance however due to his lack of previous vet records the insurance company denied his dental procedure, because without a base line they are unable to determine weather or not this is an new or old issue.
