Chips is a 1 Year Old Mix-Breed in Gulfport, MS, Who Needs $1,500 for Eye Removal Surgery.

My husband and I got Chips from a shelter after we lost our first fur baby Merry. We don’t go into the shelter that day looking to bring home a new dog, but we fell in love with her as soon as they brought her out to meet us. She lives at home with two other dogs. Maple, who we got from the same shelter as Chips and Persephone, my sister rescued her when she was only three months old.

When we adopted Chips we noticed that one of her eyes looked blue. The shelter told us that when she came to them at 3 months old that her eye looked like that, they weren’t sure what happened. When we took her for her first vet visit, at bainfield pet hospital, around 6 months old, they told us that she has glaucoma and that there is a lot of pressure so it would need to be removed.

Chips is very interesting, she does a lot of funny. When it’s time for her to eat if we take too long to get her food. She barks and taps her front paw. She loves to sit on our heads when she is playing with her toys in bed. For some reason she is very afraid of backpacks. And every morning when she sees my sister she wags her tail really fast and growls to say good morning.

We knew she was probably blind, but we weren’t expecting that it would need to be removed. Since this needs to be done as soon as possible and is a very expensive surgery we don’t have the money saved up for it. Since she is a puppy we don’t want her to be in pain anymore
