Sam is a 2-year-old Shih Tzu in Stockton, CA, who needs $1,199 for Neuter and Treatment to Recover from Neglect.

I just rescued Sam from someone that kept him outside for the first two years of his life. We have bathed him he is adjusting to our home. He gets along with our other rescue Sasha. He is getting attention and loves it!

He still is very new in our household. Sam has never been inside much. He likes to lay in the kitchen on the mat. Sam is a very friendly and easygoing dog. With time we believe he will be just fine! He a cuddle bug and likes his scratches. He likes to walk between our legs, lol.

Sam like to climb up and lay in my lap. He has a crooked smile. He likes to follow me around the house, including the garage and bathroom. He always has his tail wagging whenever I see him.

We rescued Sam from someone who was going to breed him. They lost interest in him. he was kept outside for about two years. He was covered in fleas when we got him. Sam has sores on his skin that will need treatment. He has never been to the vet for anything. He has never had any vaccines. He will also need to be neutered.

We are looking over a $1000 bill to get Sam healthy. Vaccines, Tests. Having him neutered. Skin problems. Deworming. Unfortunately, this is a bigger bill than we were counting on all at once. We could not leave him in where he was staying.
