Alfie is our 12 year old Cairn Terrier. Happy little fella, very mischeivous, and full of life. But he's in a lot of pain with his teeth and needs surgical treatment. As well as trouble with eating, he can't even play with his favourite toys. Our vet has told us the work will run into hundreds of pounds, and that's money we just don't have. We don't like to ask for financial help this way, but we have nothing to pay the vet's bills with. We love our little boy and desperately want him to live a pain-free and happy retirement.

He loves his sausages (actually he loves everybody's sausages), loves having his tummy tickled and loves everyone. Nothing pleases him more than to climb into something and make it his home. It's heartbreaking to see him so miserable, and he desperately needs this help.

Will you help him, please? The smallest amount will all go to making his life better. And we would be more grateful than we can ever tell you. Thank you so much for reading this.
