Vinnie is a 14-year-old Dachshund in Princeton, TX, who needs $200 for Dental Surgery.

Hi! I'm raising vet funds for my 14 year old dapple dachshund, Vinnie. Vinnie was one of the puppies that my female dachshund had in her only litter. I adopted him out only for him to be returned because the other dog in the home didn’t like him. He was the runt, my favorite, and the only dapple so I considered it fate for me to have him. He literally saved my life while going through my divorce

Unfortunately, between the divorce and recently losing my job, for the first time in my life, I am not able to afford veterinary care for my babies.

Vinnie will make you love him. He will get as close to your face as he can and then throws him self on you and won’t move until he has received some proper lovings. He has a love/hate relationship with his new sister, Sadie Grace. A 10 months old

When Vinnie gazes lovingly into your eyes, you know he's a very special pup. He is such a mama’s boy. He is the companion and he has been through a lot, though you'd never know it. We have both been suffering with abandonment and attachment style since the divorce. He has been depressed and his separation anxiety has doubled in severity.

Vinnie has had a problem with re-occurring mouth infections. As soon as it goes away, it comes right back. He needs to see a specialist, Pet dentist. The urgent piece is that he now has an abscessed tooth that has caused his head to swell the size of a football and the infection is about to bust through his face. If you can assist with getting him treatment, I will be so happy to pay it forward

This is a temporary situation. We just need a little help to get back on our feet, but rest assured that we will make it and when we do, we will pay this act of kindness forward.
