Daisy is an 11-year-old Chihuahua in San Francisco, CA, who needs $550 for x-rays and radiographs.

Daisy 'came across my desk' as I am a volunteer with WDR, a dog rescue in San Francisco, for about 3 or 4 years but with COVID, I was sadly dogless. Daisy was so pretty when another fosterer asked me to take over temporarily. Temp turned into 6 months, now a year, recently I adopted her as she was 'a liability' with her temperament changed after neutered.

It was after about 3 or 4 months here the Rescue discovered Daisy, a then 9 (now 11, guess) had never been neutered. She appears so well-trained, hard to believe she was a stray. It was sad to see her neutered (the law) but they found a tumor in her chest area, maybe her life was saved. She did have balance issues, I was reluctant to adopt her from WDR as she can bite! She can be neurotic to dogs!

Daisy can be very intuitive about situations, even if she is not listened to (not just a pretty face); she loves Charlie! Another special pup to an 80 year old wheelchair bound man - he and Daisy became inseparable, why I adopted her also - however, Charlie's 'dad' died and Daisy was left alone with me. She likes being on my scooter (back) with me. She eats chicken almost exclusive

Her health seemed perfect, she walked a lot but refused to be carried after her operations (tumor and neuter), and then became aggressive but I noticed her balance off a lot when walking, and so when she screamed I thought it was something in her paw. She has to be sedated now by vet and on Rimadyl for possible inflammation. WDR can't afford the x-rays needed to determine treatment after weeks

I am low income and disabled. I cannot afford vet bills and though always wanted a dog, for this reason I have only fostered. The vet knows Daisy but can't offer direct support. I would love to see Daisy able to walk again, you can see she loves outdoors but is independent.
