Hi, my name is Francesco and my wife's name is Cathy. Here is a picture of a happy Scoobie getting one of his monthly hair cuts by Cathy.  We love taking Scoobie on adventures with us and treasure his bright exuberant personality every single day. Recently Scoobie has had problems with his internal organs and there are some days that he cannot even go to the bathroom due to organs moving and blocking off other organs.  This happens when your hind muscles atrophy and it's a disease called Perineal Hernia which is life threatening and catastrophic if not surgically repaired ASAP.

For transparency we are sharing a photo of Scoobie’s estimate for surgical procedure in our updates/photos.
Though the surgery is a long and involved one, it is our only choice at this point.

Scoobie is our cute little fluffy Oreo cookie colored 10 year old Shih Tzu/Chi Hua Hua mix. He is usually very playful and affectionate but as of late Scoobie's condition has worsened and to see our poor little fur baby suffer this way crushes our hearts and of course we are willing to do whatever it takes to prolong Scoobie’s life. Putting Scoobie down is just not an option.

We ask that you please share our story to help Scoobie live,

If you have it in your heart to help us with a donation, Scoobie will be able to have a surgery to repair his pelvic diaphragm and move his organs back into their normal place fused to his internal walls. Every single dollar really makes a difference. With the support of all of our friends, family and pet lovers out there I know that we can make it through this storm together for Scoobie so that he can live to see much better and happier days.

You have no idea how grateful Cathy and I will be for every single share of our link or donation to help pay for this surgery. In these rough times we hate to ask for money in such a way so we understand if you can only donate a very small amount or even nothing at all, just offering your support and love because we need as much of that as we can get right now.

Please offer us hope and prayer in this emotional moment. We thank you for taking the time to come and read about our little Scoobie and we love all of you.

We ask once again that you please help us share this with everyone you know!
I will also hashtag on Facebook and Instagram as #SaveScoobieDoo.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we could not do this without you.
