Chiquilin is a 13 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Las Vegas , NV, who needs $500 for Mass Removal.

A month before the planned date to get my dog Marylu fixed in 2013 she got pregnant. I was able to find homes for all her offspring except for Chiquilin and Chespirito, the only two black ones she had. No one wanted them. So i kept them. And it was the best decision I've made in my life. They have been my children, my best friends and my companions.

Last year Chiquilin showed a lump, rather a mass protruding from her leg. I took him to Hearts Alive Village and the estimate for the mass removal was $800 dollars. Fortunately i was able to afford it and he had it removed before Christmas. Then this year another malign mass appeared on his chest. The same clinic made an estimate this time for $500 dollars.

Chiquilin, unlike his brother who is very shy, is a people's dog. He's very friendly, very curious about meeting new friends and loves to go to the parks in the afternoons. Trips with him at the parks are usually long because he loves to sniff around everything: grass, trees, bushes. With him is not just walk from point A to point B but rather countless points since he enjoys smelling everything.

This time, unless back in December, i can not afford his surgery. I have had two Social Security appointments and i have another one for August and my Social Security Pension depends on that. If I had the money like i did last year i would not ask for help for his operation.
