Shadow is a 12-year-old Poodle in Canton, NC, who needs $1,322 for Dental Disease/Dental Calculus and Gingervitis.

I would like to introduce my fur baby Shadow. Shadow was a gift from my husband. Shadow came from a very kind breeder who treated her dogs like royalty. We are retired and have to live from check to check. My husband got a part time job to get us by, but it's not enough to get my baby's teeth fixed.

Shadow is very precious to us. He came to us during a time when we were mourning the loss of our poodle we had before. He loves everybody and everybody that has come to our house loves him. He gets along so well with our cats and my sons dog. He's the bight spot when we have a bad day and he knows when we are upset and tries to comfort us. And he loves our brand new great granddaughter.

We are retired and live check to check. My husband has a part-time job so we could have money between our checks, but there's not enough to have Shadows teeth fixed after we get what we need. Then COVID shut things down. He's our world and we love him so much.

Shadow has severe dental disease. He has a moderate to severe amount of dental calculus and gingivitis. The vet, Dr. Lane Torrington recommends a comprehensive dental procedure in which he will have full mouth x-rays and thorough periodontal cleaning, and it will be determined if he has any diseased teeth that require oral surgery. He also has a heart murmur.

Shadow makes us laugh all the time. When we talk to him, he answers us. He follows me everywhere I go. Even if I'm cooking he has to be in a kitchen chair while I cook. When we go to bed if he gets cold he lays by my husband's head. He has done that since he was a puppy. And he will get in the chair with my daughter and lay on his back to have his tummy petted. He is our world.
