ESTELLE is a 10-year-old Chihuahua in Branford, CT, who needs $1,600 for Mammary Mass Removal, Bloodwork, Teeth.

If you can imagine, ESTELLE was found stray after being abandoned on the side of the road. She is now safe in foster care in Connecticut with Murphy's Paw Rescue. She is enjoying the comforts of her lovely foster home as we prepare her for the remainder of her vet care needs before finding her a wonderful forever family!

ESTELLE is all about warm, cozy blankets...and a lap to snuggle up in! Her favorite thing is to be held and coddled, but if you wrap her up in fuzzy blankets like a burrito, she is just as happy!

ESTELLE is such a love bug with her foster sibling and her foster family. You can see it in her eyes just how grateful she is to be safe, warm and on the way to a healthier life!

It is always heartbreaking when a dog is left abandoned, and it is particular gut wrenching when a senior is abandoned.

At some point in her life, ESTELLE was loved and cared for...and we will never know how or why she ended up alone and scared as a stray.

ESTELLE deserves to be cherished and loved...she has already endured far too much.

ESTELLE has been vaccinated and has had a full senior blood workup done.

However, during her vet exam a mammary mass was discovered. Luckily, mammary masses can typically be fully surgically removed, and even if it test Cancerous, they are usually non-spreading. It needs to be removed immediately so that she can be on her way to a long healthy life!

Murphy's Paw Rescue relies on donations to help support the high costs of vet care. We often take the dogs who are left behind, and without financial support...we cannot continue to help dogs like ESTELLE who require more than basic vet care.
