George is a 7-year-old Chihuahua in Kentwood, MI, who needs $2,000 for Luxating Patella and Torn ACL Surgery.

George was abandoned in an apartment after his previous owners moved out. He was taken to Kent County Animal Shelter and later pulled by Pet Tales Rescue. It was discovered that George not only has luxating patellas on both knees but also due to his poor diet that caused significant weight gain, George also has a torn ACL ligament in his left leg. His surgery for just his one leg will cost $3500.0

George is probably the easiest foster that I have had in my 15 years of rescue. George is very easy going, gets along great with the other 4 dogs in my house, including three other littles and a 70lb dog as well. George has to sleep under the blankets at night and has to be right up against you. He loves his fuzzy blankets. George is housebroken as well.

George gets along with all the dogs. George does love his treats and his fuzzy blankets. George is just a very friendly little dog that makes a great pet for anyone. He does tilt his head to the side when you are talking to him that is so adorable. He also has picked up from my other dogs that every time I walk out to the kitchen I must be getting a treat for him and the other dogs.

George was not taken very good care of and has had poor nutrition from his previous owners. This resulted in George being significantly overweight which caused his current health issues. George has luxating pattellas in both knees and a torn ACL in his left leg. His surgery for just his left leg alone will be $3500.00

We are a small non-profit pet rescue that has spent over $20,000 in major surgeries and sick pet emergencies since January 2023. This has caused Pet Tales has to go on a intake hold for any pets requiring any significant vet care.
