Friia is a 11-month-old Pitbull/Lab/Dachshund in Portland, OR, who needs $1,765 for Vaginal Reevaluation and Repair.

We adopted Friia from a shelter in Portland after falling in love with her from the first meeting. She was just nine weeks old and the cutest little squish. Now, she will turn a year old in August 2022. She is the definition of a pillow pibble and Velcro dog - she LOVES to cuddle up to us on the couch. She is also goofy, fun loving, and active, which has enriched our life endlessly.

As I mentioned, Friia sticks to her people like Velcro. She loves to check out what we are up to, and gets TOO excited when she sees us sweeping the floor! When the weather is nice she loves to lay out in the sun to bake like a potato. She has two cat brothers that she loves, but they are still figuring out what to do with all her energy. That doesn’t matter, as Friia thinks they are best friends.

Friia is a goofball. She will lose her mind over rope toys and balls, but also loves ice cubes as an enrichment treat. She is obsessed with kissing our feet and stealing our slippers - not to chew, just to cuddle up to. She goes to daycare and is best friends with a boxer who will play hard with her all day. She also loves the huskies and daycare because they taught her how to talk!

Friia was expelling vaginal discharge that didn’t improve with typical treatment. We were able to see specialists at Sunstone and discovered that the situation is more serious. Friia has recurrent urinary tract infections and a tucked vulva. She either needs vaginal reconstruction or removal of a kidney if the infection is too far advanced. Renal failure is possible if left untreated.

I have had medical complications due to Covid-19 even though vaccinated. We already have medical debts and cannot afford to take out additional loans or credit. I also had to leave my previous job due to health issues and am now earning significantly less money than before.
