My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Santiago has been part of the family since he was 8 weeks old. We love him very much. On or about two years later, Santiago developed liver shunt. Nevertheless, our family did all necessary surgeries to ensure Santiago was well.
He was operated and takes two medications for life. We are thrilled that these medications and surgeries helped Santiago. It has been about two years after his surgeries and he lives normal life with special hepatic food that is vegetarian. He cannot eat regular food only his diet. Santiago is small and weights about 9lbs. He is extremely adorable. Unfortunately, I have recently diagnosed with Crohns deceased that required IV infusion every two months. As a results, my medications expenses are very high and can't take keep Santiago as we would like to. Please let me know if you are interested in adopting him. I write this note with tears as we Santiago is part of our family but due to new financial reason, we must find a new home to Santiago. Thank you,
