Peanut is a 8-year-old Shih Tzu Mix in Vacaville, CA, who needs $2,000 for Extractions.

We had a family friend who was giving away puppies.. so we took three of them , at the time I lived with one of my daughters and helping her out with the kids, she had 3, plus my other daughters kids cuz she had passed.. so we had a house full.. when she moved out of state, I took one of the dogs( Peanut) and two of my grandkids came with me.. Peanut became a service dog for my granddaughter..

My granddaughter has moved and has school , so I kept him with me. He is absolutely so loved. And became my best friend. He is so comforting, loving and always helps me get through my days.😊 I couldn’t go on without him. I’m so worried about him and his health now. He’s 8 years old , has really bad teeth. I’ve had the others from the same litter had the same issues. He is a spoiled little guy 😊

He was much more playful before his teeth started hurting, we’d play all the time. He has favorite toys , but he just more careful cuz he know we can’t tug or anything like that. He has his little Mohawk and goatee, it’s part of his personality. All the neighbors know Peanut. All the kids love him and theirs a couple of neighbors that call him Old Man.🤷🏼‍♀️😂 . He can’t bark like other dogs either.

I haven’t been able to have insurance for him, I’ve always taken him to this mobile traveling clinic of sorts, for his vaccinations. He needs to be looked at, he’s getting older, his teeth are so bad and he does this hacking thing everyday. It scares me. I’ve been calling around to see if I can find some help for him. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can’t lose him. He’s gaven me comfort.

I’m on a fixed income. Insurance is so high. He deserves better than me. He has given me so much, help me through the loss of two of my children, sister and a husband.. I want to help him now. He’s has the best personality, he doesn’t bark like other dogs, barely gets out.
