Zephyr is a 1-year-old Shih Tzu in Levelland , TX, who needs $1,059 for bladder surgery, for perineal urethrostomy .

We decided we wanted a companion about 6 months ago. We didn’t know what God would lead us to. We found a breeder, who was known from our Pastor and we reached out to her. We didn’t really want a female so we decided to ask about a male. Little did we know, our hearts became so full when we met our little Zephyr!! He is a beautiful 6 month Shih Tzu.

Our sweet boy is full of snuggles and love. He loved both mom and dad. He wants to play and love. He is always with us or around us. He does not like to be out of our sight. He’s a perfect little gentleman. He’s a Momma’s boy!!! He loves to give kisses and hugs. He loves to visit his aunt and uncle quite often!!! He gets so excited to see family!!!

Due to the COVID-19 and the economy, I am unable to pay for this surgery. I have had to use my savings and my small teacher salary to make it. Having my baby healthy and able to potty correctly would bring more joy than I can explain. He deserves to have a healthy life!

Our boy has a deformed penis. It has actually turned and grown back to the skin inside. He isn’t able to empty his bladder completely, leading to infections. He had a very small opening for his urine to come out and it isn’t allowing the pressure of needing to go allow him to empty fully. He is being treated at Live Oak Animal Clinic in Lubbock, Tx. Dr. Shelli Wolfe is his veterinarian.

Oh sweet boy is so funny!! He likes to talk to us when he was at a something. If we have a special treat, he will talk until he gets his way!! He loves to play with scrunchies and socks!!! He makes us laugh so often during the day. He will grab his scrunchie and dive in his bed and Joey growl and bark!! It’s so funny since he is so tiny!!
