Teddy Bear is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Portland, TN, who needs $2,000 for Head Trauma Treatment.

Teddy Bear was a rescue. We adopted him from the Nashville Humane Society when he was about 8 weeks old. We don’t know much about his past though. He’s been the best dog ever. He has always been an indoor dog, except when we let him out to potty. He is very much a people person, always wanting to be around someone.

Teddy unfortunately was hit by a car in front of our house. He’s holding steady, but has head trauma and we are preparing for the worst. He is currently at Nashville Veterinary Specialists and his bills are adding up. They gave him pain meds, did X-rays, and have him in their oxygen kennels to help with the trauma.

He’s been the best dog ever. He saved our son from a dog attack 2 years ago by distracting the other dog and getting him away from our son. Without him, our son may not be here. He was a protector to our ducks and geese, and loved trying to play with the neighbors horses. He also loves playing in the snow and chasing mice. He loves his people fiercely.

This is very unexpected of course, it’s right during the holiday season. I have already lost one day of work, and looking at a second day. I don’t have any PTO to use to cover these days either. It would mean the world to Elijah to have his best friend healthy again.
