Anastasisa is a 10-year-old Pomeranian/Chihuahua Mix in Skokie, IL, who needs $1,700 for Incisional Hernia Repair and Mammary Mass Removal.

I came across my dog for the first time in Puerto Rico, she was rescued from the streets in an intersection. PuertoRico is known for his stray dogs, Ive had her for around 6 yrs and she is named Anastasia like the animated movie about the Russian Princess who is an orphan but is lost but then later finds out she is a princess.

My dog is my emotional support animal, she is always there for me, even follows me to the restroom or stays outside the restroom to make sure im okay. Every time I leave a room she fallows me like if I had a little tail. I always pet her or take care of her and nurture her like if she was my daughter. (If you could please help it would mean the world to me because she's all I have right now)

My dog is special because im convinced she is my soul mate, she follows me everywhere and understands me, she's always there for me giving me emotional support and always make sure i am emotionally doing well checks up on me all the time and follows me around the house. She is sometimes overprotective of my boyfriend whenever she thinks he is harming me but we are actually tickling each other.

I am looking for assistance with paying for a surgery and also her heart condition enlargement. She has a hernia and a cancer mass that needs to be surgically removed. They can remove both at the same time, she also has an enlarged heart which is common disease for small dogs and can be fatal if left untreated.

I lost my job recently and got Cov19, its been a though situation financially for me and taking her to the vet to figure out whats wrong and the xrays / vet visits/emergency care visit and everything cost us already around 800 or more. Vet care is expensive where I live.
