Chicago is a 2 year old Yorkshire Terrier in Lebanon , PA, who needs $2,000 for Joint Surgery.

Chicago came into my life almost 3 years ago. He will be 3 September 24th. I got him as a puppy. My mom’s friend’s dog had puppies and my mom thought it would be good for me to have an emotional support dog. She showed me a picture of Chicago and I wanted him right away. He is my best friend. Chicago is the first pet that I have ownership of. His name is Chicago because I like the Chicago bulls!

Chicago is a small dog only weighs 8 lbs. He is having issues with his hind leg knee joints on both legs. They keep popping out of socket when he walks. This issue is not going to get better on its own. He is going to need surgery. This surgery is going to cost $6000. That is not an amount that I’m able to afford all on my own. I need help to get my best friend back on his feet comfortably.

Chicago loves to play fetch with all his toys. He will grab all of them and want you to throw each one. He hates the rain he runs right back inside and won’t go to the bathroom. He LOVES when I chase him around the house. we chase each other in circles. He will switch up the way he runs thinking I’m gonna go the opposite direction and not catch him. He can shake, raise the roof, and lay down.

I do not make enough money to be able to afford this unexpected surgery bill. Me nor the vet thought this was going to require immediate attention. We thought later down the road this surgery would need to happen when he was at an older age. Unfortunately it affects him now.
