Polo is a 12-year-old Shi Tzu in St Louis, MO, who needs $1,000 for Mass Removal/ Castration.

Polo came into my life as a gift. I’ve had him since he was a puppy. He is family. Free spirited Happy dog. Love’s attention and to eat! I believe his favorite is chicken, blueberries and goat milk. His personality is like no there dog I’ve had because his eyes tell it all. The moment he gets to go outside to walk he is actually his most happiest I notice a smile each time.

Polo has always been my support and friend. We share everything except his food lol Sleeps with me, loves to walk, and trips to the laundromat because we walk in different neighborhoods. I would DoorDash with him calling it work and he’s my greeter. Polo gets most of the attention anywhere for everyone.

Polo is friendly however ambiguous with unfamiliar faces. Loves to play!He is strange in a way that makes me giggle. He is terrified of loud unidentified noises like his own fluctuates, fireworks, thunderstorms and gunshots . Shaking and whining at me to protect him and pick him up. When he demands attention he sits on your foot, booty bumping you because that’s his favorite spot to be rubbed.

For 4 years Polo was diagnosed with an perianal mass assumed to be cancerous and testicular malformations.On his behind the abscess growth has increased significantly over time and affects his abdominal muscles due to the hidden testicule inside. Possibly can cause internal problems that may be life threatening. That scares me because I don’t want to loose him, ever.

Over time financially I was unable to save due to mishaps in residency and relocating to another state. I am a entrepreneur and 9-5 working lady that can’t catch a break.
