my smallest chihuahua would definitely do this.

Amongst the many weird and hard things we all have to do each day, sometimes asking for help can be the most difficult.
Harold is my 9 year old, rescue maltese. This past week Harold broke his foot. We visited a veterinary specialist this afternoon to find that he has broken all the bones in one section of his paw (basically the bones in the top of our human feet), possibly the worst as far as healing/repairing goes. This past summer we had to have all of Harold’s teeth surgically removed because they were all infected and if we left them, he would eventually get really sick andpotentially kill him. On top of Harold’s health, earlier this week we also lost our 15 year old cat. Times are tough for everyone, we know, and there is no lack of heartache in our house right now.
The point here I guess is to ask anyone out there, for their help. My family loves Harold to itty bitty pieces and sometimes I swear he’s the glue that holds this house together. Between all the prior vet bills and those regarding our cat we just lost, surgery is proposing a dilemma for us. Saving Harold’s paw will cost around $3,800. This is far out of the range of our financial means and we are left with a hard decision to make. If we can not afford the surgery, his paw will need to be amputated-which will still cost a fair amount, but will be our last resort.
We aren’t sure how the injury happened but the vet mentioned that one of my parents may have accidently rolled onto his paw in the middle of the night (he sleeps between them). They both regretfully hope this is not the case, and it has brought my mom to tears each time someone has asked “how?” It hurts watching any parent cry and so, I’ve taken to reaching out to anyone here on tumblr. We want to save his paw if possible, as we already feel bad for little harry day-to-day as he manages through his little life with no teeth. I know I don’t have many followers, but if anyone could help or knows a way to reach out to others, or even just reblog this so maybe someone else would see it, it would wholeheartedly be appreciated. I don’t think I’ve ever met a single person who didn’t fall in love with Harold, so I can only hope that this all works out for the best for him and our family.

I donated. If everyone gives 1$, can you imagine what can be raised?

I just donated. I went through a similar thing when my 2 week old kitten needed her leg amputated after some guy threw her out of a speeding car when she was born. She’s alive because of the town’s donations.

”Hi guys, i need to ask you a huge favor. Please circulate this photo on your profiles and send it to your friends. We need to find these people and make them pay for the abuse and pain they are inflicting on innocent animals. We don’t know what country they are at, but let’s use the power of social media and friends to capture these abusers. Thank you in advance, i would be so grateful if you could do that for the little animals out there. Please notify the police and animal protection services as soon as you come across some valid information.’

My smallest chihuahua, Lola shows off her best trick :)
*Lola is 5 yrs old and was being used by a nasty puppy mill to make purebred chihuahua puppies. The vet said she must have had about 5-6 litters. ( not good or healthy for a dog! The puppies sometimes have problems if they are born as a 7th or 8th litter) So he brought her to the shelter where I volunteer at because we found out he is banned from any jersey shelters since he’s gotten rid of many chihuahuas when they can’t have any more puppies. She’s living a very carefree and spoiled life with me now. :)
