Eevee is a 10-year-old Sheltie in Reseda, CA, who needs $2,000 for Ameloblastoma Removal and Facial Reconstruction .

We got Eevee in September 2009 and have spent the last 10+ years with her. She has always been timid and so lovable. Before she grew all her fur, my husband made a comment that she looked like the Pokemon, eevee, and it stuck! She is literally the most perfect dog I have ever met; she's not a barker, or a chewer, or a jumper.

Eevee has always slept near us, never in the bed. She will only cuddle if you are constantly petting her. It’s my favorite when she sticks her face in my hand for scritches. She also gives the best hugs - I taught her that! Her daily activities include chasing squirrels, fighting over toys with her younger sister and begging for those scritches.

Due to Covid, I lost my job for 9 months, until recently, but we weren't able to save like we had been. If we could get this surgery for her, her quality of life will be so much better and she'll be able to go back to normal, she still has a lot of years left in her!

In 2019, Eevee started getting a mass on her jaw. We took her to the vet and found it was an oral tumor. A biopsy told us that it's noncancerous, but she's uncomfortable as she can't close her mouth. We had it removed, but it grew back, and it keeps growing. One option we have is to remove the entire diseased area of the jaw with the help of Dr. Hobson at Metro Animal Hospital.

Eevee makes me smile on a daily basis. She will stick her head on your lap or in your hand and “talk” to you until she gets petted. She also likes to flip on her back when she wants attention and huffs and puffs until you give her a belly rub. When you stop touching her, she will hit you with her little foot until you give in. I've always said she was more like a cat.
