Elmo is our beloved 13 year old Shih Tzu. He truly is an amazing dog that has brought so much joy to many families.

You see Elmo has a wife!

Her name is Bailey and they adore each other.

6 years ago they created their own little family and they had 2 daughters and 2 sons.

Their son Sam lives here with Elmo and Bailey whilst the other siblings ( Wilma, Lexi and Bobby) found their forever homes close by and have amazing lives.

Over the years Elmo became quite the celebrity locally, when he would ‘escape’ from home by using any means possible, so he could go on his adventures and explore greener pastures.

He was once found in the local pub where he was pictured at the bar just making new pals.

Minutes later he was spotted trying to board the bus heading for town! Thankfully the driver refused to carry him.

Elmo made many friends on his excursions and those that know him, love him.

Elmo is a very special dog and touches the hearts of everyone that meet him; children and elderly alike ⭐️

He is full of life and full of love.

A few days ago whilst at the vet with a sore eye, the vet ran some tests and the following day we were given the devastating news that Elmo has High Grade Lymphoma and given 6-8 weeks without treatment.

We are all crushed.

Yes, he is a senior dog and yes we knew that he would eventually start experiencing normal age-related problems.

But Elmo has too much life left in him to just fade away in a matter of weeks.

We have been told that the only hope of adding precious time to Elmo’s life, is Chemotherapy.

It is very expensive, running into the thousands and he will need many rounds.

We have set up this go fund me, to ask people if they could ‘Buy Elmo a Pint’?

Any funds raised will go directly into Elmo’s treatment and healthcare.

Some will say “he’s only a dog” but to us he has been a huge part of our family for 13 years. We love him so much and we have to fight to save him.

Elmo loves exploring and spent his life doing just that!

However this is a journey that is very different. It’s scary, painful and one that he would rather not take.

Whether it’s just a small donation or a share, we will be truly forever grateful.

Disclaimer: Elmo does not and never has, consumed alcohol!

Many thanks
