Pooh is a 6-year-old Pekingese in Pueblo, CO, who needs $2,000 for spinal surgery.

Pooh was born into our family along with his sister Cuddles. We lost his mama this year in July. He's always been healthy and a very happy boy. He never begs for people or food and doesn't make messes in the house. He is a very good dog and we love him like a child. We loves all our dogs like our kids.

Pooh gets along with all of our dogs. He likes to sit with us and watch TV. He would jump up to the TV when other dogs are on it. He loves his little stuffed squeaky toys and being with Mom and Dad. He's very much a Daddy's boy but he sure loves me too. He likes the mini milk bones but only the different flavored ones. Don't buy the box with only the one flavor because nobody will eat the them.

I am on disability, my husband just started receiving his social security retirement money but also works when he can. We don't have a lot of extra money for vet bills. It would mean the world to have Pooh walking.

November 6th Pooh ended up with a spinal injury which gave him total paralysis in his back end. He cannot use his back legs and we help him relieve his bladder. We took him to the ER and was referred to a neurosurgeon. He was diagnosed with a level 4 injury with 5 being the worst. They recommend spinal surgery to relieve the pressure on his spine with hopes of him being able to walk again.

Pooh loves to make sure his feet are clean. He's got long beautiful white hair. As much as likes to be clean he would run from me when I'd breakout the grooming tools. He's very protective over our Mini Peke Sweetheart. He loves to be the center of attention and loves getting love. He will rub his head on your hand or swat your hand just to get some love.
