Ellie is a 4-months-old Yorkshire terrier in La Mesa, CA, who needs $2,000 for Parvovirus treatment.

I was looking for a pet to help me get through a hard time in my life with fertility issues. My husband and I wanted to bring some joy back to our house by adopting a yorkie puppy. We eventually found one online that was located near by and went to buy her. She is perfect for us and is definitely our baby.

My little girl loves to be around me and my husband. She loves to cuddle and sleep in my arms. She also loves to chase her daddy and bite his pants. She is his little shadow!

Ellie loves to run up to the mirror in our hallway and bark at herself. She thinks it’s another cute puppy that she wants to play with. She also does a silly little howl when she can’t see one of us.

Sadly our baby girl was only with us for 3 days before she got very ill and was throwing up constantly. We rushed her to the Pet Emergency and Specialty Center in La Mesa CA. They diagnosed her with Parvo and sadly was almost septic. She’s been in the hospital now for 5 days and counting. She already had her low days and is slowly getting better. All of the vets here have taken great care of her.

This was very unexpected, we didn’t think we would buy a brand new puppy and she would get sick instantly. We have taken out several credit lines to cover her bills. We are getting close to $10,000. Any help would be greatly appreciated so we can enjoy time with her.
