Precious is a 8.2-year-old Shih Tzu in Concord, NC, who needs $646 for Dental Cleaning.

My friend emailed me a picture of Precious when she was eight wks. old. He knew I had lost my first pup. We had three, then two. I was so hurt from her passing. So we decided to get another one. I fell for Precious right away, her beautiful color and her playfulness. Her big, big brown eyes. She has been a god send to me.

Every since Precious has been with us from day one she has adapted very well to my other pup and they play and are always side by side. They love each other dearly. I lost my lil Figgy, her friend in 2021. Precious has since seemed very depressed from her being gone and just isn't herself anymore. She lacks her playful desires and does not seem to be herself anymore.

My baby girl has the sweetest face and big brown eyes. She has a lil toy that is just hers. A squeaky toy shaped like a harmonica. She will squeak it and we tell her beautiful music sweetie, then she does it more too. It makes me smile knowing she knows what I am asking if her. I wuv her........ She is my little pal. She has slept with me at night all her life, my luv.

My baby girl is going on 8.2 years old now. Need to get her teeth cleaned. They are bad. I worried she will have bad health issues if we don't get them cleaned. $ 600.00 is what my vet said. We only have one income, very lil money.

I lost my job in 2020 and we only have my husband's S.S. to live on which most people know it isn't much. I am afraid my baby will end up with all kinds old health issues. Her breath smells terrible. I can't afford this high cost and don't want her to get sick.
