Hi everyone, my name is Toofle and I'm a 13-year-old Brussels Griffon. For the first half of my life I was stuck in a puppy mill in Taiwan before being abandoned on the street with my brothers. Luckily we were all rescued and I was adopted by some nice humans in Oakland, California, and for the last seven years I've been giving them lots and lots of love, snuggles, and farts.

Unfortunately I've gotten pretty sick recently, some of my teeth got infected and that infection has spread into my sinuses and respiratory system; now it hurts to eat and I often have trouble breathing. The nice people at the vet have a plan to get me healthy again with some tests, medications, and surgery, but it's going to be really expensive for my parents and they need some help to get me the care I need.
