Randall is a 10-year-old ShihTzu in Erie, MI, who needs $800 for Cystotomy.

I was contacted by friend whom is a veterinarian at the clinic where Randall was brought to after being found as a stray. He was severely matted and after some diagnostics were performed they found he has issues with his heart, bladder stones, and mobility. He was not considered a candidate for adoption so I took him in to give him a hospice home in his golden years.

Randall follows mom (me) everywhere I go, he does not like to be away from me. He loves our cats and gets along with any animal and person he has met so far. His favorite time of the day is bedtime, he has to sleep in the big bed with mom. Randall just wants to be a part of our home and brings us lots of smiles!

Randall hates the vacuum and hides in his dog bed whenever it comes out. He expects to be served dinner on time and grumbles at me if it's late. He also expects bedtime to be prompt and he let's me know if we are staying up too late. Randall is not able to go up or down stairs on his own but he needs frequent potty breaks so we spend a lot of time outside which he enjoys as long as I am there.

Randall his a heart murmur that requires daily medications to manage his comfort level. His rear leg mobility does not seem to cause him pain, he just isn't able to maneuver like a normal dog. He had bladder stones that required surgery to be removed and he is on a few medications to help him heal from that surgery.

Randall's surgery to remove his bladder stones was costly on top of the medications he needs to manage his heart. He has a good quality of life moving forward now and I feel lucky he found me. He deserves to feel healthy and loved!
