Charlie is a 13 year old Chihuahua in Washington, PA, who needs $1,000 for Echocardiogram, Bloodwork, X-rays.

My sweet Charlie was the first dog that was actually mine. He was a gift from a family member at 5 weeks of age, in 2012. He was the most beautiful little thing, and he WAS tiny, that I had ever seen ! When our eyes met I knew it was a soul connection.

Charlie is 13 and has been mainly healthy his entire life. Lately he has started to make an odd coughing / hacking sound. First thought was he had something in his throat, but it is getting a little more constant. It is Congestive Heart Failure. I can’t afford the testing to be 100% accurate because due to the cancer I have very limited income. But I can’t let my baby suffer.He needs me now.

Charlie has been a constant soul mate in my life for 13 years. He saw me through severe depression, several surgeries and a rough battle with breast cancer when I was 37. He never left my side, he comforted me as only he could. Stayed at my side after chemo, he understood I was sick and he was there for me, now I need to be here for him. I love him with every ounce of my soul. I can’t lose him.

I haven't been able to work for over 2 years. I suffer recurring deep depression. Since I fought breast cancer . Charlie is my EVERYTHING, He is literally my child. I don’t know what I would do without him. But CHF is a killer in dogs. I just need help for my baby. Please.
