Prince is a 10 year old Shih Tzu in Buena Vista, VA, who needs $2,000 for Parathyroid Surgery.

Prince was 11 wks. old, when I picked him up, and he started licking me. I fell in love. I wanted Charlie Brown & mom wanted Princess. We compromised: Prince Charles Brown is his AKC registered name. He is a full bred Shih Tzu that has never met a stranger. He is very friendly and lovable. He loves car rides and playing with rolled up socks. He likes dressing up and going to the beach.

In the last 13 months, Prince has been diagnosed with diabetes, Cushing's disease & hyperparathyroidism. The diabetes & Cushing's are under control with meds. His vets are Dr. Jeffries & Dr. Whitten, at Edgewater Animal Hospital. He had to have cataract surgery at VA Tech Animal Hospital in Oct. He was sent to the Animal Cancer Care& Research Center for testing for hyperparathyroidism. Surgery is required

Prince is my only "child". He is very special and full of love. He talks and dances and enjoys everybody. I even registered him as my emotional support animal. He goes everywhere with us. He has friends all over the community. He visits the bank, the courthouse, the beauty salon, the gas station, the mechanics, & several drive thru restaurants. Prince has friends everywhere & knows where he is.

Prince is the most important"person" in my life. I would do anything for him. I was approved for Care Credit for his 1st surgery. Follow-ups & meds have it maxed. I started a new job in Nov. & 2 checks were messed up. Both were $0. I had to replace the motor in my Jeep. Help
