Chloe is a 13-year-old Maltipoo in Santa Monica, CA, who needs $2,000 for Sarcoma Removal.

13 years ago I found Chloe online for adoption . She won me over the minute I met her. She's been by my side nearly every day since. I'm her third owner, hence the separation anxiety. It was a little over a year since my father's passing that I rescued her and she's been my pride and joy, literally my road dog! She's had little medical issues till now with a soft tissue malignant sarcoma.

Chloe is low maintenance. Although with separation anxiety, she has to be in earshot or eyesight of me with others. Her need to be included is comical. I adore her desire and excitement to meet other dogs, people, cats, babies...she is quite the social "butterfly".

Chloe is the ultimate "greeter". She has to say hello to every dog. A peacemaker, as she doesn't like when other dogs are fighting. She's a flirt with boy dogs and loves to give kisses hello, or barks at them if they don't give her the attention she wants. The words TREAT , PARK and PUPPY are the buzz words to get her attention...along with a good ear rub or a squeak toy!

Chloe has been diagnosed with a soft tissue malignant sarcoma on her left shoulder area and a lipoma right behind it. Dr. Mary Somerville at VCA ASEC (Animal Specialty & Emergency Center) has provided the treatment plan for blood panel, x-ray, surgery , biopsy (to determine the grade) and after care.

Due to economics, COVID, etc. I have had to wide down my non-profit thrift shop, leaving me without income. I volunteer at a food bank twice a week to secure food for the two of us. I can't imagine being without her. This is my only hope for more years together.
