Topanga Lee is a 11 year old Shih Tzu in Albany, NY, who needs $3,000 for Dental Cleaning with Extractions.

My baby Miss Topanga Marie Lee came into my life 2014, she was being given away as a baby on the streets of Schenectady NY. Guys were asking passerby’s if anyone wanted a puppy and this is how I got her. I know she is mostly Shih Tzu but I’m not sure what else she is. Everyone thinks she is a real life stuffed animal and she is quite the head turner when I take her places .

Miss Lee has collapsing trachea and she battle pneumonia back in late 2024 to early 2025 with the help of Woodhill Veterinary. Now she is going to need dental with much of her teeth having to come out as she is getting bone loss . This is not covered by her ASPCA insurance as they only cover $120 yearly but with a $10 mthly payment so it was not reasonable for me to include that in her coverage

Miss Lee is a very playful little girl, she loves her stuffed toys and she loves giving kisses . She loves attention and strolling in her stroller. Yet currently her dental is making her feel unwell and she don’t even want to play or give kisses . She is starting to be hesitant about eating her soft food now even though I heat it up for her, she wants it but I can see a hesitancy.

I work 2 jobs, live almost paycheck to paycheck and am a single pet parent taking care of Miss Lee and her Pomeranian adopted brother Renley. I pay just over $300 per month for insurance on them but it doesn’t cover dental. I am told Miss Lee’s dental will be $3,000
