Oliver is a 10 year old Australian Silky Terrier in Sioux Falls, SD, who needs $500 for Emergency Dental/Tooth Extraction.

In 2015 I was wanting to adopt a dog. I had lost my previous dog a year before and knew it was time to another. I tried to avoid breeders and happened to come across a puppy on a local news classified ad. He was the last of his accidental litter and the owner had marked his price down When I realized his birthday was the same as mine I knew was meant to be. He’s been with me ever since.

In June of this year Oliver had to have an emergency dental done due to two abcessed teeth. He had just had a check up in April so we thought this was odd. Now we found out he cracked another tooth and needs another dental. Our vet fund was used for his dental and the other dogs yearly vetting needs. We are now in a tough spot and do not want Oliver suffering or in pain while we work to save the $

Oliver is the cop of the house. He is the smallest with the biggest personality. He loves everyone and isn’t afraid to stand up for himself. He is my constant companion and emotional support animal. He has supported our family through some major losses, 3 parents, family dog and a hospice foster dog. He is silly, playful and always up for a sniffle box or brain drain game or to cuddle with.

After doing his dental just two months ago and the annual vetting for all 4 of our dogs our vetting fund was depleted. This was unexpected since he just had a dental. We aren’t sure if there is more going on causing his teeth to crack.
