Dora is a 4 year old Chihuahua in Alamogordo , NM, who needs $1,500 for Umbilical Hernia Surgery.

I adopted Dora and her sister Dobby In January from a family member who could no longer care for them. As they are lovely little girls we didn’t want them to go to a random home I took them in.

Dora has an umbilical hernia as seen in the picture. She has had it most of her life, about a year and a half ago she became very ill. Refused to eat and lost a lot of weight, this cause the hernia to grow much larger and the vet and I are worried if it continues to grow it could rupture one of her organs and poison her blood.

Dora is a precious little girl. She happily spends her days watching doggy YouTube and sitting on your lap occasionally giving gentle kisses to remind you she’s there. I call her princess as she refuses to jump, on the bed or the couch and insist on being picked up to get up. Unfortunately I believe this is due to her hernia but it fits her gentle personality

I have recently returned from being overseas with the military and adopted them as soon as I got back. Due to the overwhelming cost of moving across the world I don’t have them money to get her the care she needs and deserves.
