April is a 14-year-old Shih Tzu in Hackettstown, NJ, who needs $600 for UTI Treatment and Urinalysis.

April was a christmas present to me in 2009 and has continued to be a gift in my life all throughout my life. we quite literally grew up together looking back…

she’s playful and always a sweetheart. she has a sense of knowing who is our family and who isn’t! her favorite season is christmas naturally and is always excited to open presents!

April always finds a way to communicate with me. She has a great memory and is so expressive with her emotions. She likes to dance and go to work with my mother in her office. she’s the family’s secretary!

April is over 14 years old and she’s so determined not to show it. Despite sickness or discomfort she tries to push through. This time though she is struggling. A simple uti has escalated quickly and now she is unable to fully walk and especially get up and down the stairs. She’s also developed a cough and shakes while breathing.

I recently lost my job and haven’t been able to find a new one, not even entry-level retail positions where i live. I don’t have a car or I would try to arrange rides for something further.
