My 3-year-old Shih Tzu, Prince, has been diagnosed with Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS). The vet has told me that without surgery, he may not make it another year. Prince has been my rock through some of the hardest times in my life. He has been there for me when I felt alone, stressed, and overwhelmed, always giving me love and comfort no matter what. The thought of losing him so young is heartbreaking.

The surgery will help Prince breathe easier, improve his quality of life, and give him the chance to live a longer, healthier life. Unfortunately, the surgery and related care are more than I can afford on my own right now. I am asking for help to cover the cost of Prince’s surgery, vet visits, medications, and recovery care.

Any amount, no matter how small, would mean so much to us. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also help more than you know. Thank you for taking the time to read Prince’s story and for helping give my best friend a chance to keep fighting.
