Taz is a 11-month-old Chihuahua in Tucson, AZ, who needs $1,000 for Portosystemic Shunt Surgery.

Taz was dropped off at my work(Grooming shop) he was handed over to us and we were told that the owner doesn’t want him anymore. Taz was about 3-4 months old when he came into my life. He was pretty skinny so I decided to take him home and fatten him up. He turned out to be quite the Tazmanian Devil( that’s how he got his name) .

Taz is a spunky little guy who keeps everyone on their toes. He sleeps with his 2 other siblings in my bed. He loves to bark at everyone and everything.

When we watch tv and he hears sirens he stops whatever he is doing (sleeping,playing,eating) and listens by tilting his head. I have no clue why he’s so fascinated with that sound but it’s funny to watch him react

Taz was sick since I brought him home but I didn’t know until about 6 months later when he started having seizures. We did a bunch of tests 1 of them Distemper because vet thought he had it. Everything came back negative and everyone was baffled. Bile acid test revealed liver shunt. Pet urgent care in phoenix (Dr Gilson) will do his surgery portosystemic shunt surgery

I wash dogs all day for my friend who owns a small grooming shop. I spent my Bill money to save Taz and I’m broke. Plain and simple no excuses I’m behind on everything and it would mean a lot to Taz and I if we could get help
