Snowball is a 9-year-old Shih Tzu in Baltimore, MD, who needs $1,000 for dental treatment and removal of mass on lower back.

This is Snowball, he's a 9 yrs, 4 month old male Shih Zhu. He was 6 months old when given to my daughter on her 7th year birthday as a surprise birthday present. Snowball has been family for almost 10 years. Snowball was born and raised in Oklahoma. He is one of 3 siblings and was the only boy. He was the biggest of the litter and bigger than his parents.

Snowball is family, he made his mark and marked his territory from day one. He's a sweet quiet little guy. You never know his whereabouts in the house because he rarely barks. He loves laying in the sun, on your lap, in front of the heater and goes to sleep. He loves and protects children and women. He loves getting his treats and will guide you to where his treats are so he can get one.

It will mean a great deal to me to be able to help him, knowing that I have lost family members and close friends to cancer. I am an one household income and not financially able to pay for the cost of the procedure, no extra funds as this was an unexpected shocking situation.

On September 25th, 2020, Snowball was diagnosed with having a small Mass on his lower back. This Mass has been growing very rapidly, it's about the size of a marble. Medical bills are very expensive for pets. We are praying that he doesn't have cancer. Snowball is in dire need of surgery and Dental II/IV work. BARCS diagnosed the mass. Spay Now Animal Surgery Clinic will handle his surgery procedure.

Snowball is so spoiled, he thinks his bed is a queen size bed. 😀 Whenever he sees us getting dress, putting on shoes or coat, he's the first to run to the door, spinning in a circle nodding his head to say come on, let's go. He does a happy dance, running around the dinning room chairs in excitement. He loves to ride, looking out of the window while his hair blowing in the wind. A good pup!
