Chico is a 9-month-old Pitbull Mix in Grand Junction, CO, who needs $1,918 for Femur Repair.

I just recently took in Chico. Chico lived with a family member of mine that unfortunately became homeless and has no job and is unable to get the care and love Chico needs and so desperately wants! I took Chico in because I just wanted to be able to get him the care he requires. Chico lives with me, my fiance, and 4 year old little boy in a 2 bedroom apartment.

He is just one big lover boy. Loves to play with my 4 year old little boy while being so very gentle with him. I don't believe this dog has one mean bone in him. He also gets along well with my 8year old King Charles Cavalier very well. The two are partners in crime. All though my 8 year old cavi acts like an old grumpy man he sure loves Chico!

Chico, my 8 year old cavalier, and my 4 year old little boy are like the 3 Amigos. With Chico, I don't think he understand what stranger danger means. He loves everyone and everything. I can say that if my apartment were to ever get broken in to, he'd give the robbers lots of loves, and probably direct them to all the good stuff!

Chico was was out in the yard playing. When Chico came in from outside he was unable to put any weight on one of his leg and it just dangled there. Chico showed no pain when I went to pick him up. Chico came in to the animal clinic on May 31st, where they performed an exam and some X-rays. After reviewing the X-rays we learned that Chico had snapped his femur in half.

1 year ago my fiance was injured while working and has been on workers comp since then. This was something we just were not financially prepared for. This dog is not just a dog he's like a brother and son to my family. We want our 9mos pup back to being healthy again!
