Shorty is a 13-year-old Chihuahua in Yuba City, CA, who needs $2,000 for Oral Surgery.

My Shorty dog is our rescue who rescued us. He has a loving home of 13 years! He has been very healthy for years until recently. He is the leader of the pack. He lost his bonded mate to cancer last year then watched his humans lose their dad and grandpa. He knows emotions and is the first one to lay in our lap and lick our tears.

Shorty is the leader of the pack. He is a 15 pound Pitbull in a Chihuahua body but he's also a lil love bug who loves to be in one of our laps or right behind the knees in bed. He likes to take his food from the bowl and bring it in another room drop it and eat it. He will lay on his back while he sleeps and play the violin on his chest w his paw while he sleeps.

Shorty thinks he is a cat and has trained his fur brother n sister to sleep on the top of the couch lined up in a row. When he stares at you he reminds me of donkey of Shrek. His big eyes and pointy face wanting love love. He likes to catch his treats. He can bring light and joy to any dark and sad face. He is a strong feisty dog who gets around effortlessly. He has me wrapped around his lil paw

Shorty has always been a very healthy dog. He's utd on shots. He recently started crying is pain frequently. Upon examination I realized it was his teeth. Vets also found a low grade heart mumor, he needs his kidney levels checked for pain medicine. His vet is Davies animal clinic in Yuba City.

I am disabled on a fixed income trying to raise three kids I think Shorty's teeth are most important. We suffered enough and he's been our life saver now its our turn to try to save his life. We want him to be comfortable his last few years.
