Teddy Bear Cuba is a 13-year-old Havanese in Maple Ridge, BC, who needs $980 for Lumpectomy.

Teddy was a gift/rescue from my son 7 years ago. He was rescued from people that kept him locked in a crate for 6 years. He was a mess. Hair so matted and long to the floor. Not fixed. Unsocialized. He is so loving now and don't like to be anywhere but with me. He is the first dog, small dog I have ever seen who never barks.

When I got Teddy, he had a small cherry size lump on his front leg by his chest. The vet said as long as it doesn't grow, it would be okay. In the last 6 month's it has grown to the size of a large plum and it seems to irritate him so much. He is chewing on it all the time. I guess its really sore for him. He has torn all the hair off it.

I'm on a fixed income, OAS, guaranteed Income supplement, CPP & Safer. Less then $1700 a month.. I just turned 65 so this income has been since November 2019 . People ask me about the lump everyday. Always mention its getting bigger. I need so much for him to be comfortable

To remove the lump from his leg. Teddy is a very healthy 13 year old. He is a vegetarian dog, Royal Canine Vegetarian dog food, cans and dry. He loves it. He seems to be allergic to every dog food I have tried. This one is great. He has the energy of a 5 years old. But he does like to sit beside me and watch TV or beside me at my computer.

Teddy use to have a best friend named Molly, but she passed away about 5 years ago. He does have a friend named Lola a couple of houses down from me in my townhouse complex. He doesn't seem to like male dogs, just the girls. He really loves going to the groomers to see the lady and get a hair cut and bath.
