Chachi is a 13 year old Chihuahua in Palmer, AK, who needs $1,800 for Mandible Surgery/Amputation.

Chachi came into my sisters life a little over 7 years ago from a family that wasn’t able to give him the life he deserved. Ever since, he’s been a perfect companion, always along for the ride. Whether he’s greeting customers at our small business, coming along for hike, or just trying to find a comfortable place to sit, he’s always happy to be there. Chachi knows no strangers, and loves all!

Wednesday, May 15th, tragedy struck. Chachi was having a regular visit at his grandmas house when one of her large cats decided to attack. In one quick swipe, Chachi’s tongue was sliced and his jaw broken. It happened so fast, unsure if it was just a cut or worse, he was taken to the emergency vet, Pet Emergency Treatment in anchorage, almost an hour away. Chachi will need emergency surgery.

Chachi isn’t your average chihuahua. Yes, he thinks he’s bigger and tougher than he really is.. and yes, he loves to wear a sweater.. But Chachi is a family dog, an adventurer, a friend to cats, and all around a little love. It would mean the world to his family if he could live out the rest of his days either with a new jaw, or no jaw. We know he’d be happy either way.

As a working mom, we all know funds aren’t easy to obtain. But when your beloved family pet’s life is on the line, we have to find a way. Chachi is a beam of light for his family, and he deserves to live the rest of his little life.
