Teddy is a 2 month old Yorkshire Terrier in Burlington, KY, who needs $1,500 for Oxygen Box.

We have known teddy for a short time, but already we have come to love him with all our hearts. We named him after my previous Yorkie, who was my first dog, bear. We have absolutely become entranced with our little companion and cannot imagine our lives without him.

On 5/12, my very first Mother’s Day, teddy fell about 3-4 feet off of our bed. He was in shock at first, unable to move. Shortly after regaining mobility, Teddy began to cough and was short of breath. The emergency vet told us that he needs to be put on oxygen or in an oxygen box as he has bruised his lungs. He is currently on pain medication in hopes that he will show some improvement.

Teddy is an absolute force to be reckoned with. He has so much personality and reminds me so much of my childhood dog, bear. He has lots of spunk and isn’t afraid of anything. He is my best friend already.

We were just beginning to build up our emergency fund after being unable to retain money due to large medical bills and credit card debt, not to mention the every day bills we must pay. Unfortunately our area has a high rent average and we are unable to find a cheaper place.
