Uzi is a 5 year old Pug in Denton, TX, who needs $700 for 3 Months of Addison's Disease Treatment.

Uzi was originally gifted to my brother by my mom and he was our family pet for 2 years. My family came down on hard times and my mom was debating giving Uzi up because my brother stopped taking care of him and it was hard for her/us to financially support him. This was also the time that I was going to college so I made the decision to take him with me. He has lived with me for 3 years now!

Uzi has been through a lot in the past year. He had a bad UTI, then we found a mass that required surgery, and now he is diagnosed with Addison's disease. I left him with my family while I was out of town and he went into Addison's crisis. The vet said he was in critical condition and I was lucky to bring him when I did. Now, Uzi will need daily/monthly medication to avoid going into crisis again.

Uzi is hilarious and has the best comedic timing in any dog I've ever met. It feels like he truly hears and understands everything going on around him but always plays dumb to get what he wants. He is super sweet and cuddly but also protective of his family. He might be stand off-ish to strangers but once you give him some treats and pets he will follow you around like a shadow! I love him dearly!

I have struggled to care for Uzi for some time now. I am in school and work part-time but hope to be more financially stable in just a few months. I budget EVERYTHING but do not make enough to handle these surprise costs and my family is also struggling and cannot supplement
