Tico is a 8-year-old Maltese in Shrewsbury , MA, who needs $1,500 for Surgery.

Im doing this campaign for my sister’s dog, her dog , Tico, means the world for my sister. She got Tico when she lived in Switzerland, then she moved to Brazil to take care of my mom that had cancer, and after that she came to US to live closer to me. And everywhere she goes she brings Tico with her, she loves him so much.

Tico is a very smart dog, my sister tells him to drink water he goes to drink the water, he has a favorite dog that is a stuffed animal, a chipmunk, it is so old but that is the only one he likes, my sister throws the chipmunk and Tico grabs it. He also dances, kind jumping around, he is the sweetest dog that I know.

My sister got Tico because her doctor told her to be her company, she has depression, and the doctor recommended her to get a pet. Tico is everything for her, she doesn’t have kids, so she says Tico is her son. And she treats him that way, she take him for a walk, for a ride in the car, gets him a special food because the other ones doesn’t do good for him.

Tico was suffering of upset stomach for a long time, and my sister keep bringing him to the vet, until he said to see a specialist, he got a ultrasound done, and he has a small mass in his stomach. So he will need a surgery, now the vet is giving him medicine for him to feel better. It helps him with the gases and discomfort.

My sister works but she lives by herself and doesn’t make much money, so far she has been able to bring to the vet and get medicine. But the surgery is the only way to get him cured, and it cost almost $6,000
