UPDATE:  We wanted to update all of you and thank you so much for donating towards Oisin's surgery. We can feel the love!!  We're almost halfway there with funding.  Oisin got through surgery successfully!  It turns out that he had TWO openings on the roof of his mouth. It's rather miraculous that he survived 7 years with these defects, but it was obviously impacting his life as of late. He will need to have cryptorchid surgery (neutering on undescended testicles) done down the road. The oral surgeon was able to close up the openings and performed a dental, needing to extract 5 teeth. He came home and slept next to his foster mom, Peggy, all night long after surgery nd slept much of the day yesterday as well. Oisin had no appetite, but it's picking up a little bit today.  He's a stubborn little guy and is being given baby food and pedialyte syringed into his mouth, until he wants to eat more on his own. Please keep Oisin in your thoughts.  We really appreciate your donation and hope you will share our funding campaign with your family and friends to cover the cost of his surgery.

Please help American Maltese Association Rescue to get urgent surgery for our foster Maltese, Oisin, whom we saved from a shelter. He has a type of cleft palate which threatens his health. He needs surgery immediately because of risks of infection.   He already was hospitalized after a scary incident caused by the opening in the roof of his mouth. Please help us help him.
