Meet Oscar the (sweetest) grouch in town ...

This senior Chihuahua was left in a garbage can for animal services to pick-up, so we've called him Oscar (as in,The Grouch, even though he doesn't have a mean bone in his adorable little body). 

This little sweetie has a list of medical conditions and issues as long as your pup's leash and unfortunately, the list just keeps on growing. 

 So far, we know that Oscar has severe dental disease, hypothyroidism, obesity (like caused by his thyroid condition and an inappropriate diet ), a severely deformed right hind limb (we suspect it's an old knee injury), arthritis and one undescended testicle. To complicate matters even more, we suspect that Oscar may also have cancer, immune mediated hemolysis or Addison's Disease, based on his initial bloodwork.

We estimate that his initial medical costs will be in the thousands of dollars  – and they are likely only to go up from there, once we've diagnosed his other medical conditions. 

To start, we know that he will need (at minimum): 

A test for Addison's Disease

A CT scan to check for cancer

Dental surgery & neuter

New, healthy food and dietary supplements to try to get his weight under control

Ongoing chiropractic and acupuncture treatments to help ease his stiffness and discomfort due to arthritis

He may need corrective surgery on his knee as well, and if that is the case, it will be at least $2500+! 

 Despite all of his health issues (and a terrible previous owner!), he's a total cuddle-bug; he loves EVERYBODY, has an amazing personality and demeanor, and is a total socialite.

Can you please help us to help Oscar, by donating anything that you can, to help us pay for the long list of medical tests, treatments and, possibly, surgeries that he's going to need to get him back on his feet, literally and figuratively?
