Snuffles is a 7-year-old Shih Tzu in North Hollywood , CA, who needs $1,300 for Paw Pad Biopsy.

My pup Snuffles joined the family almost 8 years ago . I never expected that day I was going to become a dog mom! He was just 6 weeks old when he was given to us as the last of the litter/the unwanted puppy he was rejected by his mom and afraid of him ending up in the shelter I adopted him. My then 6 year old son was so happy to have his furry best friend!and have grown up together.

Snuffles is the sweetest most gentle dog ever, he loves to go to the park he loves having kids around gets happy when we have kids over the house and goes grabs one of his toys so they can play with him. If it’s adult company he’ll just come to your feet so you can give him belly rubs!!

Snuffles favorite person I would say is my son who they have grown up together he sleeps at night with him and cuddles inside his school backpack which is adorable ! I consider him my therapy dog he knows when I need to cuddle and gives me kisses. He’s always been a sweet boy

Snuffles been suffering allergies since he was 8 mths old, ear/skin infections, paw licking till it bleeds, hes developed the past ear different bacteria’s that have made him miserable. Paw/nail discharge crustiness,sores/crustiness on his nose, ear tips and some areas of the body. His vet has done has done biopsies and can’t figure out what’s the cause. We were referred to an animal dermatology clinic.

Im a single parent on a fixed income. I’ve been handling the vet bills with savings, carecredit even signed up for a non profit for assistance they helped the Past months. I just want to know what its his condition so that he can be treated and be healthy again.
