Chloe is a 9-year-old Coon Hound in Keeseville , NY, who needs $2,000 for Eye Surgery/Cataracts.

Chloe came into our lives as a rescue dog. We got her to be a big sister to our other dog, Lula, because Chloe had a vivacious energy about her that to this day has allowed her and her sister to lead energetic and wonderful lives.

Chloe is the most docile, loving, happy and sweet girl. She snuggles on the couch every night, and loves nothing more than do run outside and play with her sisters. Or at least she used to until her medical condition arose.

Being a coonhound, Chloe used to love running out in the fields chasing butterflies, and anything else that moved. Although she never was able to catch anything fortunately. Her strong sense of smell has allowed her to be a pup that loves to explore.

A few months ago we came home from vacation and noticed Chloe was losing weight. Normally she is approximately 85 lb and solid muscle. Over the next few weeks she wasn't eating and got all the way down to 60 lb. When we finally were able to get into the Vet we were told that she was severely diabetic. Within a couple weeks after Her diagnosis she went completely blind with the lenses in her eyes becoming totally opaque. Now when we go for walks I have to have her on a leash. She cannot run and play like she used to and she seemingly has lost her zest for life. This absolutely breaks my heart and I would give anything for her to have the ability to see you again so that she can play with her sister and live out the rest of her life being active, happy, and chasing butterflies again. The surgery to have her regain her sight his upwards of $6,000 which is just not feasible for my single income with having to take care of my daughter and all the bills that most everybody has nowadays. It would be wonderful if somehow this site were able to give Chloe back the gift of site.

I am a divorced single father who is taking care of my older brother and my teenage daughter. I lost my job last year and I am currently working another job but I half the income that I was making. This is not a sob story. I am doing fine and I will make ends meet. But as for Chloe, they're simply no way I can get her the surgery to have her regain and thus allow her to live a healthy active life again.
