Teddy is a 13-year-old Shih Tzu in New Milford, CT, who needs $2,000 for FHO Femoral Head Ostectomy.

Teddy came into our family at a time we needed extra love. We received Teddy from a friend of a friend who was divorcing and could not keep this beautiful pup. From the moment we met Teddy it was pure love. Teddy was born bow legged and through the yrs. Developed arthritis which he is being treated for.

Teddy sleeps in the big night bed with mommy, daddy, Mollie, Toby and kitty Reece. Teddy loves to go for walks in his stroller with the gang in tow. He is a big cuddles and speaks to us whenever he wants to go outside or his favorite pass time eating. Teddy loves to hang out wherever mommy is and loves to be loved!!! He loves cuddling with his sister Mollie and is very bonded with his brother Toby

Teddy is very bonded to his older sisterMollie and his Buddy Toby. They are a very bonded pack. When Ted was a pup, he followed his big sis Mollie around and learned a lot from her. When Ted was younger and more mobile he loved plying catch with the tennis ball and bringing it back to mom. Because of his arthritis he now enjoys long walks in the stroller with Mollie land Toby.

Teddy has developed arthritis and due to the deterioration has dislocated his hip due to a slip. The veterinarian needs to preform a FHO surgery. The surgery will be performed on January 15th, 2024 at Park Lane Animal Hospital in New Milford, Ct by Dr. Dinwiddie.

We have always been able to pay for Veterinarian care and medications which we still cover for Teddy and Mollie. However, due to my husbands retirement and disabilities the surgery cost is more than we can handle at this time.
