Teddy is a 2-year-old Shih tzu in Corpus Christi, TX, who needs $2,500 for Jaw Surgery.

My baby Teddy has been in my life for about two years. He was given to me from my mom and we've been inseparable since!! At home or out for walks he is always with me like he's protecting me. If I take a shower he waits by the door. If I'm sleeping he's right next to me. The only time he forgets about me is if there is food or other dogs like when we go to the dog park.

Teddy is my family! It has always just been the two of us until I recently added a kitten that he loves to snuggle with. When my family is around they treat him as one of the grandkids. He is ALWAYS with me whether we're cooking or having to take a potty break lol. My coworkers and the kids I work with can't wait for movie night when he comes to visit. Oh and he LOVES road trips!

I cannot afford the full payment and broke down when the specialist said they will not take a payment plan and he would not be getting fixed until I can pay. If my baby could get the surgery he needs I would CRY to see him be able to run/play with other dogs or use chew toys

My baby was hit by a car it was a hit and run. Luckily the car only broke his jaw and nothing else. I have taken him to his vet and driven out of town to see a specialist at Blue Pearl in San Antonio. He is a small dog so no one near me can do the surgery. The specialist said the surgery he needs will cost around 3,500. It has been two months and his jaw has not healed with the muzzle given at vet

Oh wow.. there are so many things that I just love so much about him. He to me feels like safety or safe place. I take him with me every where or at least I would until his accident since he's not allowed much physical activity but we still get to have and make so many memories together. Whether it's being lazy and always sharing food with me. His favorites are honeycrisp apples and WATERMELON!!
