Snickers is a 12-year-old Shih Tzu in Denver , CO, who needs $700 for Dental Cleaning Periodontal Disease.

Snickers came into my life as a sweet 8-week-old puppy in 2011. He rescued me from an abusive relationship and immediately became my best friend! We named him after the Snickers bar because of all his colors in his fur, and this was my favorite candy bar. My children and I immediately fell in love with him and take him everywhere with us. Most places don't care because he's so sweet and gentle.

Snickers is a sweet boy who loves everyone he meets. He makes friends easily, and just loves to cuddle every chance we get. He loves to give kisses and will never turn down a treat. We go for walks 2 times a day when all the other dogs are on their walks, and Snickers has to stop and say hi to everyone we see. He even gives me his sad face to give other dogs treats and sits there until I do.

Snickers is petrified of thunder and cuddles under the blanket with me. His eyes get so big like he saw a ghost. He loves those key words, "Bath, car, bye-bye" and especially loves to go for rides and hang his head out the window. when we get to the groomers parking lot, he starts whining because he knows he's going to get a bath, which is one of his favorite things to do. He loves the attention !

Snicker was diagnosed with periodontal disease last year and had 12 teeth extracted. He is needing another cleaning and extractions again this year. His care is at the Dumb Friends League Veterinary Hospital, CSU Spur Campus.

I live to paycheck and sudden expenses like these have to go on a credit card, which I had to max out for my other dog, Marley's surgery and ER bills. Marley has passed away; however, I'm still paying these bills and I do not have any other means to pay for Snickers care.
