When Shelby arrived at the branch she was covered in matted fur and we could tell right away that something was wrong. Shelby had already had one of her eyes removed, and the fur around her remaining eye was caked with puss and debris, causing the skin on her face to become infected.
Shelby also has multiple masses on her body, including a mammary tumor that needs to be removed and sent for testing. And if all that wasn’t enough, both of Shelby’s ears are severely infected and she has dental disease!
This adorable 9 year old Shih Tzu is a bundle of love and energy. She loves meeting new people and soaking up lots of love and attention. Despite her medical issues, she is endlessly affectionate.
Shelby has to wait until the skin on her face heals before she can have her surgery, likely 2-4 weeks. Hopefully wonderful people like you will have fully funded her surgery by then!
Personal updates for Shelby will be provided to anyone who donates to her campaign
*Goal includes: surgery, medication, vaccinations, regular health check, and daily care for Shelby until she’s ready for adoption. If her medical costs and cost of care is less than is raised in her name, additional funds will provide care for other animals.
