A Little Bit About Me…

A staff member writes: This tiny cutie has a large mass on his side but is still a very friendly pup!   Our DVM recommends excision of mass after placement, as well as dental work which will likely include extractions.  Please help this small cutie get back on his paws!

Details on my behavior are…
