My story

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


I'm researching options to rehome my dog, Chuco, a 3 year old 12 pound chihuahua mix.
Chuco had emergency spinal surgery in May from which he’s had a slow but steady and promising recovery from, until Friday (Nov. 8th) when he re-injured himself. Due to draining all my accounts from the first surgery, I’m unable to pay for a full re-evaluation, treatment and recovery.
I did take him to my local, affordable hospital in the Bronx for an evaluation on Saturday. He has begun a conservative and low budget treatment of rest and meds from a vet visit yesterday, but I’m afraid it won’t be enough.
I’m looking for a guardian angel who might love and care for him as much as I do AND have the means (time and money) to ensure a better probability of his recovery or potentially life with a disability.
This is an extremely hard moment for the both of us so I’m exploring all my options, and hoping this might be one of them.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration,
Yadira
